Andy Burnham was elected Mayor of Greater Manchester in May 2017, and was re-elected for a second term in May 2021. I was delighted to capture Andy on location at the Mayors office in Manchester.

Prior to being Mayor, Andy was MP for Leigh from 2001. In Government, Andy has held Ministerial positions at the Home Office, Department of Health and the Treasury. In 2008 he became Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, before returning to Health as Secretary of State in 2009.

In opposition, Andy has served as Shadow Education Secretary, Shadow Health Secretary and Shadow Home Secretary.
