Bernard Priest, a Labour time-server who represents the inner-city ward of Ardwick. He seems to have no business or travel experience, and is a former FE lecturer.
To be fair to Mr Priest, he was actually Senior Vice Principal of MANCAT, one of the largest FE/HE colleges in the land with over 60,000 students and 4,000 staff; FE colleges are big businesses these days, independent of local authorities and sinking or swimming through their own commercial activities.
