ONE of the UK’s most respected voices on Brexit will be keynote speaker at the Institute of Directors (IoD) North Yorkshire annual dinner.

Allie Renison, head of Europe and trade policy at the IoD, will address the black-tie gathering at Rudding Park Hotel, Harrogate, on November 24.

She makes recommendations and represents the voice of IoD members on EU reform and provides a link between business and Government on increasing international trade.

Guests will also hear from Gordon Black, former chairman of £300m-turnover West Yorkshire business Peter Black Holdings, business investor and author of From Bags to Blenders: The Journey of an Entrepreneur.

Jon Geldart, chairman of the IoD in North Yorkshire, will host the evening alongside regional director Natalie Sykes.

Jon said: “This is an event not to be missed.

“Allie is a respected voice on Brexit with the ear of policy makers. Her perspective on our future relationship with Europe will be fascinating.

“We look forward to welcoming members, friends and colleagues for this ever-popular black-tie event.”

Entertainment will be provided by soul singer Rojay, who has performed across Europe and the US.

Individual tickets and tables of ten are available.
