Bill Harrop: Strategic Engagement Worker - Transport Action Group

Bill's role is to support the voluntary and community groups across Manchester by seeking out any issues or ideas relating to transport and then assist to either resolve the problems or get ideas put into action. Bill works closely with the public bodies like the Council, GMPTE, NHS, Police etc, the service providers like the bus, train and tram operators, as well as the voluntary and community sector.

“I am a Manchester lad born and bred with a passion for people power, up till now my working life has been a series of warehouse, factory or driving jobs with a lot of agency working, never quite finding my niche until I got involved with the community network as a volunteer, this has given me an opportunity to see that there are lots of people working really hard behind the scenes trying to make life that little bit better for all, the beauty of working in the voluntary sector is that it is full of people doing the job because they want to, not because they have to.”
