About the Speakers:
Andy Burnham was first elected as Mayor of Greater Manchester in May 2017, re-elected for a second term in May 2021 and a third term in May 2024.
Responsible for shaping the future of Greater Manchester, Andy’s priorities for his third term include continuing to build a London-style integrated transport system, ending the housing crisis by 2038, offering a new technical education pathway as an alternative to university and creating a new Live Well service, making Greater Manchester a great place to grow up, get on, and grow old.
As the Greater Manchester Combined Authority portfolio lead for Transport, Andy has pioneered the delivery of the ‘Bee Network’ – an integrated transport system for the city region – which has included reforming the bus network and bringing buses back under local public control. The Mayor has also invested in world-class cycling and walking infrastructure and as Chair of Rail North Committee, continues to work with Transport for the North to improve rail services across the city region and wider North.
Before being elected Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy was MP for Leigh from 2001. Andy has held Ministerial positions in government at the Home Office, Department of Health and the Treasury. In 2008 he became Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, before returning to Health as Secretary of State in 2009.
In opposition, Andy has served as Shadow Education Secretary, Shadow Health Secretary and Shadow Home Secretary.
Andy lives in Leigh, Greater Manchester, with his wife and three children.
