A handful of tickets are now available to the public to attend BusinessCloud’s exclusive Northern Leaders event in Newcastle on May 8th.

Dragons’ Den star Sara Davies, Greggs CEO Roisin Currie and award-winning Moja founder Sophie Milliken are the headline speakers at an exclusive business event.

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.

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.

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.

Maguire said: “It’s our first Northern Leaders event in the North East and we’re delighted to secure three speakers of the calibre of Sara, Roisin and Sophie.

“We knew tickets would go fast and that’s exactly what’s happened. Our intention was to invite North East names from our Northern Leaders and Northern Leaders Future lists first and then open it up to the public and that’s exactly what’s happened.

“However, we literally only have a few tickets remaining so if you’d like to register your interest in attending please email me [email protected].”

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