As strategic director of growth and development at Manchester City Council, Becca Heron plays a key role in the delivery of council’s ambitions set out in the Our Manchester strategy.
Leading the city’s recovery following the pandemic, Becca and her team are building on the successes of the last two decades to drive inclusive growth and ensure the city continues to be one of the most exciting destinations in Europe to live, work and play.
Formerly director of economy and skills at Wigan Council, Becca’s career has included a number of different public sector roles within both Manchester City Council and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA).
During her time with the GMCA, Becca led on a series of high-profile and complex initiatives, including the development of the 2014 Devolution Agreement. At Wigan, she took on the economic development and regeneration brief, playing a pivotal role in bringing key sites forward for development and kickstarting the redevelopment of Wigan town centre.
