Law firm Gateley Holdings Plc (LON:GTLY) is bringing together regional heavyweights to discuss what macro-economic challenges might be coming up for the Northern Powerhouse, as well as the turnaround, restructuring and lending environment in the North.
Its Restructuring Conference: Navigating complexity, change and uncertainty, supported by TheBusinessDesk, will bring together professionals from across the business community at The Bridgewater Hall on October 12, to explore the challenges facing businesses today and what they should be doing to prepare for the future.
A series of presentations will see speakers from the fields of business, economics, debt advisory, restructuring and private equity deliver a series of addresses, considering what steps businesses can take to navigate complexity, change and uncertainty. A panel debate will also look ahead to what future trading circumstances the North can expect.
Andrew Buchanan, Restructuring partner at Gateley Plc and conference chairman, said: “In today’s increasingly complex world, businesses from across the North – from Greater Manchester to Yorkshire – are concerned about the uncertainty that macro-economic factors, such as Brexit, can bring. What we want to do at this conference is to bring together the business community in the North of England to share what it is that we’re all seeing on the ground, which sectors could potentially most be at risk from such events and what the warning signs are that could herald challenges for the Northern Powerhouse.
“On the flip side, we also want to consider what the opportunities are for us in the North and what actions businesses should be taking now, in order to take full advantage. We’re looking forward to what should be an informative and engaging conference.”
