Manchester-based real estate lender, Sancus UK, has been confirmed as the second sponsor of BusinessCloud’s new Northern Leaders podcast.

The podcast will be launched in May and will celebrate the lives of the people who are doing the most to improve the region and follows the success of our inaugural Northern Leaders list and awards ceremony.

Sancus UK have followed in the footsteps of Wildbrook Commercial Real Estate in sponsoring three episodes of the podcast.

Andrew Charnley, managing director (UK) of Sancus, said: “We’re delighted to be sponsoring the Northern Leaders podcast.

“Northern Leaders is a brilliant idea and has already established itself in the calendar.

“People like me, who live and work in the North, don’t need to be persuaded how wonderful the North is and the people who live in it are.

“The beauty of the new Northern Leaders podcast is it gets that message out to the rest of the world and Sancus is honoured to be sponsoring three episodes.

“I’m a big fan of podcasts and I can’t wait to start listening.”

First sponsor confirmed for Northern Leaders podcast

The format will see guests interviewed by BusinessCloud’s executive editor Chris Maguire about what the North means to them, their approach to leadership and their lives and careers.

Sancus UK is part of wider Sancus Lending Group, which has offices in London, Jersey and Dublin.

Charnley joined Sancus in October 2024 after a career spanning more than 30 years in the commercial lending sector  and leads a team of experienced and trusted real estate professionals.

The podcasts will be produced by Manchester-based What Media, who have previously worked with Maguire on the Dealmaker Uncut, Northern Spin and The Holiday That Changed My Life podcasts.
