“We do things with a cheeky swagger – everyone loves a Manc!”

Paul Owen is a business development manager at the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. He was born in Manchester and has all his family roots here.

“I have been very lucky to have travelled a fair bit from the age of 17 years old due to serving Queen and Country in Her Majesty’s Forces. As a result, I’ve seen some fantastic places but I always love coming back to this concrete jungle we call Manchester. I love Manchester’s people – simply the salt of the earth. We always have the time of day for others and we do things with a cheeky swagger – everyone loves a Manc! And, although we don’t take ourselves too seriously, we know how to do business.”
