MANCHESTER
Greater Manchester is the economic centre of the North West region of England and is the largest sub-regional economy in the UK outside London and the South East. With a population of 2.6 million, Greater Manchester is a diverse city region comprising the ten local authority boroughs of Bury, Bolton, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford and Wigan. Greater Manchester makes a distinctive contribution to the North of England, as not only the largest economy, but as an international centre for knowledge intensive activity and private sector driven growth.
