Lycetts sponsors the Northern Leaders event

Lycetts is thrilled to be sponsoring the BusinessCloud’s exclusive Northern Leaders event on May 8^th.

The event – entitled ‘An Audience with Sara Davies, Roisin Currie and Sophie Milliken’ – is taking place between 5.30-7.30pm at KPMG’s Quayside offices in Newcastle, and will be hosted by BusinessCloud’s executive editor Chris Maguire.

Ian Barclay, CEO, said: “Lycetts are proud to sponsor Northern Leaders and to celebrate the individuals making a real difference across the North East, with our roots firmly in Newcastle, this feels especially meaningful to us. As part of the Benefact Group, giving back is central to who we are, whether that’s through this event or by supporting local charities and community projects in the area.”

BusinessCloud’s executive editor, Chris Maguire, said: “We’re overjoyed that an established and respected company like Lycetts has chosen to sponsor the event. We’ve had an amazing response and it looks like being a sell-out.”

Sara Davies MBE is famous for being a Dragon on Dragons’ Den. She’s also the founder of Crafter’s Companion and the author of ‘The Six-Minute Entrepreneur’.

Roisin Currie is the award-winning CEO of Greggs and has overseen unprecedented growth at the Newcastle-based bakery giant.

Sophie Milliken MBE is the founder of Moja and a published author. She won the Business Champion Award North East at January’s Northern Leaders Awards.

All three women were included in BusinessCloud’s 2024 Northern Leaders list, which shone a light on 200 people the judges felt are making the biggest positive difference to the North.

The event is being recorded for a special episode of BusinessCloud’s new Northern Leaders podcast.
