Senior figures to address ‘Building a stronger North’ seminar

Councillor Susan Hinchcliffe

Concluding a six-month project which has dissected important sectors of the North’s economy, three leading voices will highlight the region’s prosperity and growth potential.

TheBusinessDesk.com’s Building a Stronger North event, sponsored by Squire Patton Boggs and KPMG, is the conclusion of the State of the Region series.

Delegates to this free-to-attend breakfast seminar will hear from Cllr Susan Hinchcliffe – the leader of Bradford Council and Chair of the West Yorkshire Combined Authority – and Ian Ball, the chief operating officer at listed property development firm Harworth.

Delegates will also hear an overview of the North’s thriving sectors from Hannah Kendrick, partner and head of the corporate team in Leeds at Squire Patton Boggs.

Cllr Hinchcliffe will discuss the importance of business and government investment across the region to bolster the North’s economy. She will also touch upon how such partnerships are strengthening.

Ball, who has been with Harworth since 2014 and was promoted to his current role in May, will discuss the importance of the North to the UK’s economy.

He will highlight why and how Harworth is focusing on strengthening the north as a business investing heavily in huge industrial and residential schemes of national importance. Ball will be able to share how such focus will attract investors and create jobs.

The morning takes place from 8am to 10am on Tuesday 5 November at Squire Patton Boggs, 6 Wellington Place, LS1 4AP.
