The film sets out Manchester’s credentials for hosting the Green Investment Bank – including its professional services and business infrastructure, international connectivity and green credentials.
The Government, which said last week that more than 20 locations had expressed an interest in being ‘home city’, is expected to make a decision in late February or early March.
