We're pleased to say that Ken Mortimer, the designer of the revolutionary 'Mancunian' bus and Design Officer for Greater Manchester Transport, will give an illustrated talk at this event.
Ken will give the talk at 1pm on both days, outlining his early career and the process of developing this iconic design. It's a must-see!
It will last for 30-40 minutes and is based on his early influences, his view of the Manchester scene in the 1960s, leading to the development of the Mancunian bus. It will be accompanied by a slide show using some of his illustrations.
