For The City

REBEKKA O’GRADY meets people in Liverpool who are passionate about making their hometown the best it can be

- Rebekka O’grady

THERE is no disguising the passion Angie Redhead has for her job. Working for Liverpool City Council’s cultural service, Culture Liverpool, she heads a department which incorporates the Liverpool Cruise Terminal, St George’s Hall, Liverpool Town Hall and tourist information. It’s a position of responsibility and pressure, but also great reward.

‘I’m in a privileged position and I would never take that for granted. If I fell out of love with it I would have to step aside,’ said Angie, who has been in charge of the Liverpool Cruise Terminal since it opened in 2007. She recently took over as head of the other assets. ‘In this job, you have to do what it takes. I’ve got to make a difference to people’s experience of Liverpool as well as make a difference for the people of Liverpool. We change perception one ship at a time.’
