Join us for our next Leader's Network Lunch of 2025.

Our regular Leaders' Lunches bring together business leaders from all sectors. Delegates will enjoy a two-course lunch with a glass of wine/soft drink and coffee, in the company of various other directors from across the North West. An influential guest speaker will share their valuable experiences and key insights.

There will be plenty of networking time as well during the welcome reception, during lunch and after.

Our guest speaker for April will be Liz Taylor, Managing Director of Liz Taylor Consultancy.

A host of awards and accolades confirm Liz’s standing as one of country’s most well-respected businesswomen.

She has been awarded the Variety - The Children’s Charity Award for Outstanding Achievement accolade.

As well as being an inspirational business leader, luxury brand consultant and event, wedding and party planner, Liz is involved with various organisations at the highest level. She has been a member of the committee for the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, NW fundraising committee for The Princes’ Trust and is currently a member of the business advisory committee for Manchester Metropolitan University, to name a few.

She released her biography in 2012, Taylor Made, and is busy growing her consultancy portfolio of hospitality and luxury sector businesses.
