A NEW initiative has been launched in York to bring together the city’s next generation of business leaders.

In a bid to recognise and celebrate future talent in business and professional services, the York Future Leaders event was organised by local law firm Langleys Solicitors.

Held at Vodka Revolution, in Coney Street, the scheme brought together rising stars from a range of business sectors for relaxed, post-work drinks and networking.

Andrew Gawley, a solicitor in the corporate team at Langleys, said: “We felt it was high time for a new type of event that celebrates the fantastic talent on offer in the York area. It provides a platform to meet other like-minded individuals to develop collaborative relationships between future leaders and to promote business opportunities in the local market and beyond.”
