Episode notes

“Hopefully, people see me and think ‘I could do that too’”

In this episode, Lisa is joined by Manchester-born and raised Kyle Walker. Kyle is a presenter and reporter for Sky Sports, former host of BBC Radio Manchester’s “The Dead Good Show” and contributor on Football Focus and Match of the Day.

Kyle is proud of his roots and is passionate about showing young people from Manchester that they don't need to fear stepping out of their comfort zone to achieve their goals.

Despite being only 30 Kyle has grafted to get to where he is now and he’s managed to fit a lot in. You’ll hear about the people who’ve inspired him, the values and sayings that have kept him on track and the opportunities that made his career include; chatting with Pep Guardiola in the back of a cab and interviewing the other Kyle Walker….

Your host, Lisa Morton, started PR company Roland Dransfield in 1996, one month after the fateful IRA bomb that tore apart the city centre.  From that point, the business, and its team members, have been involved in helping to support the creation of Modern Manchester – across regeneration, business, charity, leisure and hospitality, sport and culture.


To celebrate the 26 years that Roland Dransfield has spent creating these bonds, Lisa is gathering together some of her Greater Mancunian ‘family’ and will be exploring how they have created their own purposeful relationships with the best place in the world.
