The business is enjoying a period of growth, exemplified by its Leadership Awards which take place for the first time in Birmingham and Leeds later this month. The inaugural events have been already proven to be a success, with ticket sales and sponsorship support matching TheBusinessDesk.com’s long-established Business Masters awards.
A busy events calendar has also welcomed a number of high-profile speakers during the year, including Northern Powerhouse minister Jake Berry, Scarborough Group’s Kevin McCabe, Andy Koss from Drax Power, REI’s Paul Bassi, Chris Oglesby from Bruntwood, and restaurant entrepreneurs Nisha Katona and Aktar Islam.
TheBusinessDesk.com was founded in 2007 and now operates in four regions – North West, Yorkshire, West Midlands and East Midlands – informing business owners and managers, professionals and senior public sector officials of the key business news and issues in their region.
