MET Events - Creation of the Northern Powerhouse

"Shulmans were very pleased to have sponsored and hosted the 'Creation of the Northern Powerhouse' event on 15 April this year. The quality of the speakers scheduled to appear ensured a full house and a lively debate on this key subject, which is so important to our region.

Thank you to MET Events for organising the event."

Shulmans

"Having recently opened our new Harrogate office at the start of 2016, we needed to quickly reach out to the businesses of Harrogate to introduce the company and ourselves. Having met with Julie and Lorraine and learning more about what

 

'MET Events' offer and the gravitas it has in the local business community, I had no hesitation in partnering with them to host our office launch in March.

 

From sourcing the venue to inviting guests, Julie and Lorraine assisted us every step of the way and ensured our launch night was a great success. I can wholeheartedly say that 'MET Events' has made a huge difference to our business in the early days of trading in the new office and we now have many strong, local contacts."

Business People Talking

"The Transport for the North event was a triumph for 'MET Events'.

Many congratulations on such a powerful and constructive contribution (a) to understanding the process and scope of the proposed immediate Northern train franchise service improvements and (b) to the debate about what the future should hold beyond the presently proposed train and train service changes, good as they will be in their own right.

 

Again my thanks for an excellent and timely event"
