Our International Female Empowerment Network brings together women who are passionate about driving meaningful change. It provides a platform to share experiences, exchange ideas, learn from one another, build lasting relationships and, ultimately, empower each other to succeed.

The evening saw leaders from across Europe come together to share ideas, build lasting relationships and create positive impact.

A huge thank you to all our attendees for making the evening so special, and to our wonderful speakers, Claire Whalley-Livesey, Jade Palmer and Stacey van den Aardweg, for sharing their inspiring stories, experiences, and insights.

Are financial constraints still delaying your growth ambitions?

Our research and leadership roundtable discussions revealed that despite rising costs, wage inflation, tighter capital conditions and uncertain demand, many organisations remain committed to growth. The challenge for leaders is determining where to be more disciplined, where to invest, and how to balance both amid continued uncertainty.

Our Building Resilient Growth Report brings together extensive research and insights from senior business leaders across the North of England, providing practical perspectives on how organisations are adapting their approach to investment, risk and long-term growth.

This morning, we hosted our ‘The Accountability Advantage’ seminar for manufacturing leaders, both online and in person, led by people-centred leader Vicky Brockley.

Joined by 30 leaders in person and 130 online, we explored why great cultures are built through courageous leadership, and why accountability is the critical link between culture and performance.

Attendees gained practical insights into improving accountability, reducing ambiguity, building trust, strengthening leadership alignment, and addressing behaviours that can hinder performance.

Thank you to our industrial search experts for organising the event, to Vicky Brockley for sharing her valuable expertise, and to everyone who joined us online and in Newcastle.

We hope you enjoyed the seminar and found it useful. You can follow us on LinkedIn to keep up to date with our future events.
