Episode Details

Andy Burnham’s bold move to appoint Caroline Simpson as head of his new No 10 North office signals a major shift in Britain’s regeneration strategy. Simpson, the dynamic CEO of Greater Manchester Combined Authority, proved her mettle by transforming Stockport and launching the billion-dollar Good Growth Fund—sparking economic revival across the region. Known for her hands-on style, fearless leadership, and international reach—including deals with Japan—she’s quietly run massive public bodies with precision. With a background in Japanese studies and community regeneration, Simpson found her calling in public service, driven by the profound impact she can make. Now, stepping into Burnham’s vision for a revitalized Britain centered on public ownership and neglected towns, she’s poised to lead with continuity and grit—while quietly handing over election duties.
