Newcastle-headquartered insurance broker and financial services company, Lycetts, has been confirmed as a sponsor for BusinessCloud’s exclusive Northern Leaders event on May 8th.
The event – entitled ‘An Audience with Sara Davies, Roisin Currie and Sophie Milliken’ – will take place between 5.30-7.30pm at KPMG’s Quayside offices in Newcastle, and will be hosted by BusinessCloud’s executive editor Chris Maguire.
Lycetts was established in Newcastle in 1961 and CEO Ian Barclay said the company was delighted to put its name to the event.
He 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.”
