Greater Manchester is the UK's second-largest metropolitan area — 2.9 million people across 10 boroughs (Manchester, Salford, Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford, Wigan). The region generates £82bn GVA and hosts MediaCityUK (BBC, ITV), Manchester Airport (ranked 3rd UK by passengers) and Europe's largest university student population after London.
Key sectors include media and creative (Salford Quays), advanced manufacturing (Trafford Park), professional services (Spinningfields financial district) and life sciences (Corridor Manchester cluster). Average salaries run 10-15% below London but cost-of-living is 30-40% lower, giving strong net disposable income.
