O evento, “O Futuro de Liverpool & The Northern Powerhouse” foi o terceiro de uma série de eventos organizados pelo centro da cidade discutindo esse tópico. Liverpool. Em 2008. Frank McKenna explicou as oportunidades que os projetos recentes de regeneração trouxeram para a cidade e Richard Kenyon, do Everton FC, explicou como um projeto futuro construindo um novo estádio ajudará o renascimento do porto e, portanto, os empregos e o turismo é importante. Perspectiva, o Liverpool já é reconhecido e não precisa necessariamente da Northern Powerhouse Association para competir em um cenário global. Ele explicou como o Liverpool poderia se beneficiar de combinar sua oferta cultural com uma oferta comercial aprimorada, considerando como a cidade se retrata aos investidores e, colaborando e conversando com líderes políticos, as autoridades da cidade poderiam ficar atrás e incentivar os negócios para todos. Especialmente importante no clima político de hoje. Ele lembrou a necessidade de comunicação e marketing, pois é possível que as empresas não tenham conhecimento do que está acontecendo em uma cidade a apenas meros quilômetros de distância e, se for esse o caso, como é esperado que um investidor em potencial na China saberá?
The event was hosted in the beautiful Hilton Hotel and the guests were met with fabulous hospitality and a meal from the excellent catering team before a panel of opinion formers was introduced by Downtown’s CEO Frank Mckenna to lead a discussion on issues affecting the future of Liverpool.
Many issues were discussed around the future of Liverpool, such as whether the Liverpool Region works as a cohesive unit, what a future governance model should look like and if Liverpool can maintain its place as an economic driver.
There was time to celebrate the successes so far, such as the period of successful physical regeneration and huge growth in Liverpool’s visitor economy since being European Capital of Culture in 2008. Frank Mckenna explained the opportunities recent regeneration projects have brought to the city and Richard Kenyon of Everton FC explained how a future project building a new stadium will help the rebirth of the port and therefore jobs and tourism.
Sean Beech of Deloitte explained Liverpool is now recognised as an equal with Manchester, and a leading city which is massively important to infrastructure and Business and from a Brand perspective, Liverpool is already recognised and doesn’t necessarily need the Northern Powerhouse association to compete on a Global stage.
However, business growth in other sectors outside tourism hasn’t been as fast and Sean reminded of the need to challenge outdated perceptions. He explained how Liverpool could benefit from matching its cultural offer with an improved commercial offer by considering how the city portrays itself to investors and by collaborating and talking to political leaders, city authorities could get behind each other and encourage business for all. Especially important in today’s political climate.
John Irving of Liverpool airport echoed this need for city authorities and businesses to work together rather than competing as has been his experience of working at an airport which challenges its neighbours for airspace and custom. He reminded of the need for communication and marketing, as it’s possible for businesses to be unaware of what’s happening in a city only mere miles away and if this is the case how is it expected a potential investor in China will know?
Mark Butchard, concordou com a necessidade de gritar mais alto sobre nós mesmos, mas também acreditava que poderíamos ajudar apoiando empresas menores com os recursos necessários para crescer. Houve um grito fora de apoio a isso com Bill Addy, da Liverpool Bid Company, explicando como seus negócios se orgulham de poder fornecer esse suporte e ajudar a manter a diversidade na rua principal e Claire Libby explicando suas lutas com a movimentação de sua pequena empresa de Londres.
