It is an exciting time to join the CLES team. Given the current political and economic climate, and with the devolution process unfolding on our doorstep here in Manchester, our work and progressive stance has taken on a new significance and urgency. We are also undergoing a rebranding exercise to better reflect our position and diverse expertise while serving our growing audiences.
