Introducing The Yorkshire Leadership Groups

The Yorkshire Leadership Group was first started around 15 years ago to bring together like-minded business leaders across Yorkshire to allow them to share best practice, learn about each other’s businesses in a way you can’t at a networking session and support each other with the challenges every senior leader faces.

They are very professional and there is a lot of learning to be taken from them but they are deliberately not formal, stuffy or corporate. We have fun, we laugh and we genuinely like each other.

If you would like to chat about the groups please get in touch.

"I have found both the one to one and the group meetings invaluable in helping me navigate an often confusing and complex journey which net zero can be when starting out. Lisa has a very thorough and comprehensive approach to her sessions but they are never dull or disinteresting."
