A New Year Message From The President

Happy New Year to all our members, partners & colleagues!

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and a restful break in preparation for the exciting year ahead.

2024 has been a busy year for the MSA, the council worked extremely hard expanding our events programme to deliver varied, topical sold-out events. We are keen to keep this momentum, and are anticipating a busy 2025, with some very exciting developments in the pipeline.

Looking ahead into 2025 we want to build on the success of last year, maintaining our society’s vision –

‘to champion and to nurture the present and future architects of Manchester’

Whilst running events which encapsulate some fundamental themes including:

• The Building Safety Act

• Sustainability, Carbon, Retrofit & Refit

• Leadership

• Value and Communication

We’re excited this year to announce the launch of our Practice Membership Programme—and we’d love all Manchester Practices to join us. We will be launching a dedicated platform in 2025 to streamline this programme – more details will follow.

Together, let’s make 2025 a year of growth, collaboration, and excellence.

All our upcoming events will be promoted on our new website

Please get in touch with us either by signing up as a member here
or contact info@the-msa.co.uk – we would love to hear from you.

Happy New Year and thank you for your continued support.

Jenny Etheridge.
