We host Premium Networking and Social Events across the UK and in addition, we have both the Special Events Series and now this latest 3 Part Transport Series, designed to truly be next level whilst bringing even more of our Community together.
This Series will be focussed on engaging the Business Community to share more of the ‘Positive Business Updates’ happening in Manchester, Greater Manchester and the wider North West Region when it comes to how we commute, connect and collaborate to drive growth across the City Region. Join us at the new Three Rivers Brasserie, Medlock Square inside The Medlock Hotel.
We are hosting this Panel Discussion with some Business Leaders from both Manchester and Liverpool, in partnership with Transport for Greater Manchester and the Bee Network. The focus for this is how we do ‘Better Business between Manchester and Liverpool’.
We will then have a delicious Buffet Lunch available for all to ensure you fuel that appetite after hearing more on what’s happening in and for Manchester in the coming months and years ahead.
Most importantly, we will have Business Professionals from a wide range of Sectors across the Next Level Community, giving everyone a chance to meet new people and connect during the networking sessions throughout the event.

The Venue
Three Rivers Brasserie, Medlock Square | The Medlock, a Radisson Blu Hotel, Medlock Square, Etihad Campus, 204 Alan Turing Wy, Manchester, M11 3DS
Set within the new Medlock Hotel, Three Rivers brasserie and bar is a sophisticated all-day dining experience with a focus on British produce and international flair. Big welcome, big flavours, big service, big heart.
Medlock, Irk and Irwell. They powered the mills, moved goods, and drove Manchester to the forefront of the Industrial Revolution. That power of three runs through the brasserie.
Our Panellists:
Donna Howitt | Deputy Centre Director at Liverpool ONE and National Tourism Lead for Landsec
Donna Howitt is Deputy Centre Director at Liverpool ONE and National Tourism Lead for Landsec, with more than 20 years’ experience spanning retail, property, destination marketing and place-making. Having built her career from a marketing background, Donna has increasingly focused on how destinations create economic, social and cultural value through strong partnerships and connected communities.
Alongside her role at Liverpool ONE, Donna serves as Deputy Chair of the Liverpool City Region Destination Partnership, championing the visitor economy and helping to bring together public and private sector stakeholders to drive growth across the region.
A passionate advocate for collaboration, Donna believes the strongest places are created when organisations work collectively towards a shared ambition. Through her work across tourism, retail, culture and city partnerships, she has seen first-hand that the sum is often far greater than its individual parts. She is particularly interested in the opportunities for Liverpool and Manchester to strengthen connections, amplify their complementary strengths and create greater impact for residents, businesses and visitors alike.
