J.P. Morgan Private Bank has been confirmed as the latest sponsor for the 2025 Northern Leaders.
They’ll join headline sponsor OBI, alongside CG, GM Business Growth Hub, Rochdale Development Agency and insurance giant Lockton.
KPMG will again be hosting our invite-only dinner and awards evening at their Manchester offices, on November 20th, 2025.
This year’s Northern List is currently being finalised and will be published later this month.
The list celebrates the leaders who make the North a better place and include names from the world of business, sport, politics, charity, education, philanthropy, property and many more.
Khayyam Jumani, Team Lead for the North at J.P. Morgan Private Bank, said: “We are proud to partner with BusinessCloud for the 2025 Northern Leaders initiative, which aligns with our commitment to championing innovation and leadership across the North.
“Our extensive engagement throughout the region has given us a unique perspective on the dynamism and entrepreneurial spirit that defines the North. The Northern Leaders platform is particularly impactful because it shines a spotlight on the individuals whose leadership is instrumental in driving progress and enhancing the community.
“At J.P. Morgan Private Bank, we recognise that building enduring relationships and deeply understanding our clients’ financial ambitions are fundamental to delivering value.
“Our guiding principle – to provide a first-class service in a first-class way – is embedded in every aspect of our work, ensuring that we consistently deliver exceptional outcomes for our clients both locally and globally.”
BusinessCloud’s Executive Editor Chris Maguire said: “We’re delighted to welcome a company of the stature of J.P. Morgan Private Bank onboard as a sponsor, alongside OBI, Lockton, CG, GM Business Growth Hub and Rochdale Development Agency.
“We’re also thrilled to be working closely with KPMG again and there will be lots of new names on the 2025 list.”
The Northern Leaders list aims to celebrate outstanding leaders from across the region, including the North West, North East and Yorkshire & Humberside.
Northern Leaders was inspired by the former chief executive of Manchester City Council, Sir Howard Bernstein, who died in 2024 and is widely recognised as being the catalyst for the regeneration of Manchester.
