Manchester
Cooper Parry is teaming up with HSBC to host an invite-only roundtable lunch for senior leaders across the professional services sector.
On Tuesday 3 June, 12:00 – 15:00, set against the backdrop of Manchester’s skyline at 20 Stories, the session will be an open, peer-led discussion on the challenges reshaping professional services.
