Say it louder! Excellent post from our good friend Claire Hoang. "I'd just like to remind companies that places above the M25 do exist" 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 This is why we exist. If we're honest, it's getting harder, not easier to convince companies to invest in the North. This is why we appreciate and need your continued support. Together we change the situation.

We need your help. Last year we ran an informal networking event called 'Summer Vibes'. We loved the format...but not the name. 🤷♂️ What should we call it? No speakers. No agenda. This event is a chance to get together, meet new people, chat, and have fun. Please help give us a suitably less vibe-based name 😉

Be honest. What's your reaction to this. Do you feel sorry for Pippa...or is it just funny?!? We've all made mistakes, right? #Instagram #Fail #GerriHalliwellHorner

It's almost time 🥹 The final event in the current Performance North series takes place in Manchester at Lunio HQ on Thursday 20 June. 🔥 We'll reveal the (AMAZING) speaker line-up next week.
