Sacha Lord has praised Manchester’s hospitality businesses, as new data places the city’s post-pandemic recovery as being miles ahead of that seen in London. Manchester is in third place behind Glasgow and number one and Bristol at number two.
London is currently at number nine, according to data released by CGI and Wireless Social, which logged sales figures and device log-ins to determine footfall.
"This data shows that we're moving in the right direction, despite the economic difficulties currently being faced by the leisure, tourism and hospitality sectors,” said Lord.
