Join us for our first 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 February will be Hopwood DePree.
Hopwood DePree, a descendant of the Hopwood Family of Hopwood Hall Estate in Middleton, Manchester, is an advocate and investor rescuing the UK's lost heritage.
Having been named as "One of 20 People to Know" by the Hollywood Reporter, he relocated from the USA to Rochdale Borough in 2017 to save his ancestral home from ruin. His efforts and the community engagement programmes he since began have made global headlines. HarperCollins Publishers internationally released his best-selling memoir, ‘Downton Shabby’, and he has a popular YouTube Channel (@HopwoodXIV) with millions of views. Hopwood also currently serves as Co-Deputy Chair of the NW Region of Historic Houses, and he is the Chair of the Hopwood Foundation for Heritage, Arts, Education & Inspiration (Registered Charity 1192774).
