Business is changing – and a new breed of entrepreneurs are leading the charge.
The NGEs – or New Generation of Entrepreneur – have a reputation for being digitally savvy, bold, fearless, driven by social impact and wanting to do business differently.
BusinessCloud’s latest exclusive event – Northern Leaders: Meet the New Generation of Entrepreneur (NGE) – will hear from some of the rising stars of business and several of the names from our prestigious Northern Leaders Futures list.
Speakers include 25-year-old Dragons’ Den reject Lucie Macloud, who walked out the Den empty-handed but grew sales in her business Hair Syrup by 66% and is set to hit turnover of £6.5m.
She’ll be joined by The Apprentice star Keir Shave, 27, who made it to week seven of the hit show and is the founder of Leeds-based telemarketing company Parallel Partnership.
The unique event will also hear from several of the people included in BusinessCloud’s exclusive Northern Leaders Futures list.
The 75-strong name list is made up of people aged 45 or less who continue to make the biggest positive difference to the North.
The event will be held in the Leeds offices of KPMG and will be hosted by award-winning editor Chris Maguire.
