MacCarthy said: “As a proud Mancunian, I’m well chuffed to be at the helm of Social Manchester’s growth ambition and to be leading a team of talented tacticians delivering work underpinned by AMEC-recognised evaluation practices.”
Founder John Quinton Barber added: “Di’s promotion to Managing Director at Social Manchester is brilliant news. We are creating a business that really invests in colleague progression and I’m thrilled for Di, Becki and Tony who have grasped the opportunity to lead and grow our business with both hands.”
