Welcome to The Humber Spotlight’s final edition of 2024.
This has been a landmark year both for Bondholders and for the Humber region. Alongside our wonderful partners, we have strengthened our resolve to showcase Humber as a dynamic, forward-thinking place with limitless potential. Through a packed calendar of events and the successful integration of the Humber Place Narrative, we’ve laid firm foundations to enhance the region’s reputation nationally and globally.
The Humber Place Narrative has been central to shaping our activities this year. By bringing to life the region’s distinctive identity, we have unleashed a shared vision that speaks to the heart of what makes Humber unique. From influencing perceptions to increasing recognition, we have witnessed the power of place branding in all its glorious action. It has enabled us to craft a compelling story—one that creates desire, instils confidence, and ignites excitement about what Humber has to offer.
This year’s events have provided a stage to celebrate the region’s rich assets and ambitions, connecting businesses, communities, and key stakeholders. These platforms have driven demand and built momentum, uniting voices that are passionate about our region’s future.
Looking ahead, our purpose remains steadfast: to continue to engage and celebrate our brilliant Bondholders, to elevate still further Humber’s increasingly positive profile and to drive positive change. I wish to thank everyone who has contributed to this year’s successes—your dedication, innovation, and vision are what make possible this exciting journey. Together, in 2025, we will ensure Humber’s story continues to inspire and resonate across the world.
I wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year! 🎄
Bill Walker, Chair, Future Humber
