Business is preparing for an easing of the lockdown and the emergence of a new way of working and operating.

Before the crisis, the economies of the North had been enjoying renewed momentum and focus. West Yorkshire’s devolution deal announced in the Budget in March was an important milestone in this journey.

The impact of coronavirus has been unexpected and unprecedented. But it has also caused such disruption that there is an opportunity to think the previously-unthinkable.

Yorkshire and the wider Northern Powerhouse can shape its own future in the aftermath of the lockdown as part of a reappraisal of how we work and live, and what we value.

In this exclusive webinar by TheBusinessDesk.com and Squire Patton Boggs, we will hear from three speakers who will provide different insights into what lies ahead.

Our speakers are:

• James Wharton, former Northern Powerhouse minister and a senior advisor in Squire Patton Boggs’ European Public Policy Practice
• Eve Roodhouse, chief officer, economic development at Leeds City Council
• Tom Bridges, director, cities advisory, Arup
• John Alderton, Leeds office managing partner, Squire Patton Boggs

They will share their views of what the pandemic means for the Northern Powerhouse and how the regional and city economies of the North can be rebuilt in the wake of Covid-19.
