THE organisation which represents Manchester's financial, professional and business services community expects a long-term legacy from this summer's successful Commonwealth Games in the city.
A survey for pro.manchester showed that 80 per cent of those quizzed do not believe the Games have generated any additional new business, but they believe strongly that there will be benefits in the future.
But 13 per said said they had already secured additional business from the Games.
Mr John Barnacle, Chief Executive of pro.manchester, said: "Although the potential impact may not be immediately obvious, it is clear that by placing the region in the international spotlight, the Games have created opportunities which the city's professionals will be able to seize in the future."
