Yorkshire has been building momentum and there is a lot to be positive about but the economic backdrop is continuing to produce short-term uncertainty.

This seminar from TheBusinessDesk.com in partnership with Eddisons will hear from the Bank of England, providing its perspective on the economic landscape as we head into the second half of 2022.

Following the launch of the Government’s white paper on levelling-up earlier this year, we focus on three critical areas – transport, housing and productivity – to understand what’s next for Yorkshire.

Networking will begin from 4pm, with our speakers on stage from 4.30pm-5.30pm, followed by the opportunity for more networking with our audience of business leaders, managers and advisers.

The event will hear from:

Alex Golledge, Agent, Yorkshire & The Humber, Bank of England

David Hoggarth, strategic rail director, Transport for the North

Sarah Tulip, Yorkshire chair of the Regional Productivity Forum

Javid Patel, Director – Group Business Lead and Head of Public Sector, Eddisons

Amir Hussain, deputy chair of the West Yorkshire Combined Authority’s housing, regeneration and place committee

Eve Roodhouse, chief officer, culture and economy at Leeds City Council
