What to Expect
R3 Northern Forum 2025 will be held at Oulton Hall in Leeds, bringing together restructuring, turnaround and insolvency professionals from across the North East, North West and Yorkshire.
The forum will feature the sessions delegates expect, including legal updates, a Bank of England session on the day interest rates are announced, and a showcase of emerging talent from across the Northern regions.
The keynote speaker will be Tobias Ellwood, former Chair of the Defence Select Committee and former Minister for Defence Veterans, Reserves and Personnel, who will share his insights on recent international geopolitics.
Alongside the technical programme, there will be networking opportunities throughout the day and at the post-forum dinner. Preferential rates are available for new professionals and group bookings to encourage attendance from all levels of the profession.
The forum is expected to provide 4 hours of CPD and promises to be an insightful and enjoyable day.
