Following an overwhelmingly positive response from the debut Women’s networking event, hosted during Leeds Business Week, the Yorkshire Mafia (YM) has arranged a second event to take place on 23 November at Blackhouse, the Grill on the Square, from 12pm – 3pm.
Bringing together professional women from across the Leeds City Region, the event – which is sponsored by Carat – will give attendees the chance to meet, engage, share and make connections with those that they would like to add to their wider networks.
Recognising the need for an event that relies more on relationships than referrals or selling, the YM has imposed the same informal and friendly approach that has become customary and synonymous with the group.
General Manager, Kate Hutchinson, comments: “The first women’s only event we hosted in October was a great success with so many people providing positive feedback and asking when the next get together would be. We always try to act on the comments we receive from our members and where possible do what we can to extend the events programme that we offer.
“We are so pleased to be bringing this addition to our calendar and thank Carat for their support and sponsorship.”
Andrea Bagan, Director of Carat Leeds comments: “We believe that through supporting events such as this, which provide women with the opportunity to make connections, build relationships and increase confidence away from their day to day working environment, we can help promote the benefits of a diverse and inclusive work place. We are very much looking forward to meeting with the women of the Yorkshire Mafia and would encourage all women interested in broadening their personal networks to come along.”
Tickets to the event are £20 per person with a limited number of seats available. Those who are interested should register their interest to avoid disappointment.
