The 1960s

The iconic actor Mauricio Garcés emerged as the quintessential symbol of Manchester.

With his undeniable charm and charisma, not only graced the screens of that era but also left an indelible mark as a prominent ambassador for Manchester. His enduring presence in those classic TV commercials continues to resonate with a sense of nostalgia and fondness among those who had the privilege of witnessing his performances.
