What role will Yorkshire play in transforming the UK economy?
The Northern Powerhouse and levelling-up initiatives have resulted in the North taking a much more collaborative approach and seeking to drive the whole of the region forward.
Commitments from Government have been harder to pin down, with every announcement of part of a Government department relocating North seemingly being matched by another commitment being shunted into the sidings.
Where does this leave the North and the ambitions of its businesses and investors? And in seeking to close the North-South divide, how does it avoid creating new gaps between the parts of the North which are thriving and those which are struggling to survive.
In the wake of the Levelling Up White Paper being published, Freeths and TheBusinessDesk.com will be hosting a webinar at 9am on 18 February focused on not just highlighting the strengths and opportunities of Yorkshire, but discussing the weaknesses and threats which surround the region.
The free-attend session will also consider what rationalisations do we expect to see, how technology is impacting the county and what sustainable growth means for the regional economy!
Speakers will include Tom Bridges, Leeds office leader and director cities advisory at Arup; Professor Charlie Jeffery, vice-chancellor of York University and John Flathers, partner at Freeths with more to be announced soon.
