Why is supporting the Northern Gamechangers important to Appleyard Lees?

The north west of England is a national hot spot for innovation and growth across a number of scientific fields, and commercial industries. Northern Gamechangers celebrates the talent, and organisations, that make the region a hub for early-stage businesses, and multinational corporations alike, and we are proud to be a part of the programme.

What are you looking forward to at the Northern Gamechanger awards?

This is the second year that Appleyard Lees has sponsored Northern Gamechangers, and been a part of the judging process.

Each year, our attending attorneys and trainee attorneys have the opportunity to learn about some of the north’s emerging businesses and their leaders, and meet them face to face at Northern Gamechanger’s annual awards ceremony. This is always the part of the event that we enjoy the most!
