A DELEGATION of up to 30 leading US businesses is set to visit Manchester as part of a high-level trade mission.

Senior business people from Atlanta-based companies will be arriving on October 3 for three days of intensive fact finding and presentations, to see for themselves what the area can offer overseas investors. The companies will be scrutinising Manchester's business accommodation, workforce, transport infrastructure, lifestyle and the opportunities it can offer US companies looking for a UK and European base. Businesses who want to get involved should contact the MIDAS International Links team on 0161 877 3000.
