Business. Sport. Community. Networking. Success…
It’s a great testament to the work behind the scenes and the success of the Bradford City Business Club that for this, the final meeting of 2025, we were able to attract a panel which included…
David Scott – Morrisons Corporate Affairs Director
Kelly McAllister – Luminate Education Group, Group Director of Apprenticeships
Michael Harland – Collett & Sons Ltd Sales Director
Jamie Barraclough – Director of JH restaurants Ltd t/a McDonald’s
Ryan Sparks – CEO Bradford City AFC
Last week I hosted a panel of leaders from all levels of industry at an event that gave members of the Bradford City Business Club an opportunity to hear from, and ask questions of respected individuals from different backgrounds and experience. People who face the same challenges, working in a competitive and tough economic landscape as our members. We heard how they approach those challenges, what structures are put in place to ensure a productive working environment. How apprenticeships can benefit the individual and employers, the importance placed on being flexible and agile and what concerns they have moving forward. Above all else though, we heard each panel member discuss the significance of being involved with the local community. Why that’s important to the success of their respective businesses and how that in turn generates growth and productivity for everyone involved.
Following the discussion, the panel generously gave their time to speak with individuals in a networking area. A number of members hosted stalls, providing an opportunity for different businesses to build contacts and establish new relationships, which hopefully will prove beneficial and productive in the months to come.
Many thanks to Cedar Court Hotels Yorkshire for hosting another hugely enjoyable event. Thanks also to Anthony Baker, Mick Russell and the team for making it possible.
