The tools for business success
Following
the success of the first Leeds Business Week in 2008, Leeds is to hold
the second of its week-long business events this June.
Brought to the city by Marketing Leeds in association with RIBC, and sponsored by Yorkshire Bank, Leeds Business Week 2009 will take place from 1st-5th June at Leeds Metropolitan University’s new Business School venue, The Rose Bowl.
The theme of the week is ‘Your Toolkit for Success’, and it’s aimed at all levels of business. The week will include a series of seminars, conferences and workshops, providing the tools for business success now and into the future.
The exciting programme of events kicks off with a launch event featuring guest speaker Penny Mallory – rally driver-turned-performance coach and motivational speaker. Other speakers include Richard Reed, co-founder of Innocent Smoothies, who will be running a workshop on inspiring young entrepreneurs to turn their ideas and enthusiasm into business reality.
The week also includes an event looking at the different ways in which men and women operate in the workplace. Vive La Difference is just one of many events taking place over the week,
culminating in the Yorkshire International Business Convention in Harrogate on Friday 5th June.
Deborah Green, chief executive of Marketing Leeds said: “We are strong supporters of business growth and development in the city. In the current economic landscape, it is all the more important to share best business practice and help businesses equip themselves with the tools to be successful. Leeds Business Week is the ideal platform to achieve this. With the support and kind sponsorship of Yorkshire Bank, we have a calendar of over 20 events aimed at a diverse range of business audiences.
“The first ever Leeds Business Week in 2008 was an excellent example of how collaborative working can produce great results. We have developed the concept to make it an annual event, which we hope will be even better than last year. The week is designed to inspire and motivate business as well as offer opportunities to network with a local, national and international business audience. I encourage businesses to get involved to help prepare themselves for business success now and in the future.”
Dean Cutbil, Director for Yorkshire Bank said: “Yorkshire Bank is proud to be sponsoring Leeds Business Week for the second year running. We are strongly committed to connecting with the business community to ensure knowledge is shared and that business excellence is achieved. Leeds Business Week offers us an opportunity to do just that. We look forward to seeing a wide range of business sizes and types at the event, and hope those who attend find the different topics and speakers useful and inspiring.”
Gary Williamson, Chief Executive of Leeds Chamber added: “Leeds Business Week is key in helping us achieve our aim of positioning Leeds as a leading business centre, both in the UK and internationally. The week, with its mix of motivational seminars and inspirational speakers, will support and encourage the city’s entrepreneurs and its business community.”
Other highlights of Leeds Business Week include an event aimed at the creative and digital industries, with a social media seminar featuring an American guest speaker from Leeds-based social media experts, Wolfstar. Also a half day seminar for SMEs, aimed at raising awareness of the importance of innovation in business, and a seminar hosted by UKTI, looking at key areas to help your business grow through international trade.
