What to Expect

R3 Northern Forum 2024 will be held at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Durham, bringing together insolvency, restructuring and turnaround professionals from across the North East, North West and Yorkshire.

The forum will feature legal updates, a Q&A with the Insolvency Service, a Bank of England session on the day interest rates are announced, a mock trial, and contributions from emerging talent across the Northern regions.

Alongside the technical programme, attendees will have opportunities to network throughout the day and at the post-forum dinner. Preferential rates are available for new professionals and group bookings to encourage attendance from across the profession.

09:40How email transformed A&M's communication game — Ctrl+V, Ctrl+V… feel familiar? If manually copying and pasting emails into Bcc is your go-to for emailing creditors, or the process just is not easy enough, you are not alone. A&M faced a similar challenge on a much bigger scale. When they had to reach 600,000 creditors within 24 hours, they needed an email solution fast. Join Postworks for an insider's look at how they are taking the pain out of emailing creditors.
