Muse ‘champions the future’ through Place partnership
Enabling important conversations and strengthening existing relationships with partners and communities is at the heart of the prolific placemaking developer’s latest annual campaign with Place North West.
During 2026 Muse will be helping to shape Place events, as well as producing online multimedia content. The collaboration incorporates development updates for Cumbria, Greater Manchester, and Liverpool City Region, as well as the popular Revitalising our Town and City Centres conference.
Phil Marsden, managing director of Muse in the North West, said the focus is on delivery in 2026: “Our North West business continues to go from strength to strength, developing our long-term relationships as well as forging new partnerships, helping us to shape successful and sustainable places across the region.
“2025 was a year of working with partners and communities to ensure we’re ready to deliver, and our focus this year is on delivery. Our teams are working hard to turns plans into reality, delivering the places that will make a real impact on communities and the growth of the region.”
Marsden added: “Our renewed partnership with Place North West supports our goal of strengthening existing relationships and enabling important conversations, underpinned by a shared commitment to placemaking and community‑focused regeneration. We look forward to working together to champion the future of our towns and cities.”
