"Interesting to hear what other place brand teams are experiencing at City Nation Place UK and it’s making me so proud of what we have in Burnley. There’s always learnings to be had and things to improve, so I’m excited to head back up north this evening and incorporate them into our plans for 2023 and beyond."
