The new boss has got the job following the resignation of Joanne Roney in the summer
Tom Stannard will take over the authority as its chief executive, following a months-long search to replace Joanne Roney. Ms Roney left her post in August after seven years in the job to return to her hometown of Birmingham, where she took on a managing director role of the crisis-hit authority.
“Manchester is a city which is competing on a global stage and successfully attracting investment, jobs and visitors and it’s important that we continue to maximise those strengths. Just as crucial is that the growth generated benefits the whole city, and I know that’s something the Council is already working on and determined to achieve.
She added: “Tom was our unanimous choice in a highly competitive selection process. He is a nationally respected voice in local government with an impressive CV and a track record of delivery across regeneration, inclusive growth and improving council services.
