Newsnight duo to anchor BPS conference

NEWSNIGHT presenters Kirsty Wark and Gavin Esler are heading to the North West for the Business and Professional Services Conference organised by pro.manchester.

The pair will host sessions throughout the event on March 17, in what will be most significant regional business event so far this year.

The event will offer delegates the opportunity to engage with influential players from business and politics. Among the speakers are business minister Mark Prisk, Angela Knight of the British Bankers Association and Sir Howard Bernstein of Manchester City Council.

Pro.manchester chief executive John Ashcroft believes having the Newsnight team on board is a great coup: “Having the support of such high-profile personalities, to anchor our conference, interview speakers and meet with attendees is just one more reason why the BPS conference really is one not to miss,

“It’s going to be the most exciting conference anywhere in 2011”

Sponsorship packages are still available for the event, for further details and ticket information, contact Nicola Mortimer at pro.manchester on 0161 833 0964. See also www.bpsconference.co.uk.
