We joined the Brabners team in Manchester to support the True North Summer Reception, which brought together members of this fast growing and collaborative network for the launch of the True North Data Explorer, built in partnership with Open Innovations.
The Data Explorer is an open web tool that will help us to better understand the state of play in the North. From employment figures and graduate retention, to the fastest growing sectors and business demographics, to the number of B Corps and social enterprises based in the region – all of that information is now available and free to access, alongside much more.
That data will be an important tool for the True North Advisory Council, which also met on Tuesday for its second quarterly meeting. We’re excited that joining Brabners CEO Robert White and Prof. Maggie O’ Carroll, CEO of The Women’s Organisation as co-chair of the council is our very own Michael Hayman, who will support its four working groups in developing their focus areas and plans of action.
If you haven’t signed up for the network yet, then it’s quick and easy to do, giving you access to events, insights and connections to the North’s most purposeful and prosperous companies. Sign up here: https://hub.brabners.com/join-true-north
