Keynote Speaker

Nick Fairclough is the Senior Policy Manager at Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM), working to support development and delivery of the Bee Network, the city region’s new integrated public transport system.

Most recently, Nick led development of the city region’s ambitious Bus Strategy, which set out how Greater Manchester intends to improve and grow its bus system using the powers afforded by bus franchising.

During his eight years of policy work for Greater Manchester, Nick has also been involved in the development of a refreshed active travel mission, the Greater Manchester Good Employment Charter and is currently working with colleagues to develop the city region’s next Local Transport Plan.
