We joined We Are Wakefield in 2024 to meet other businesses, learn from each other and support the local community. It’s been a great way to swap ideas, showcase what we do as well as connect with people who are as committed to regional growth as we are.
What is We Are Wakefield?
We Are Wakefield connects, supports and empowers local businesses in the Wakefield District to network, collaborate and thrive.
Every month, it hosts meetups at different regional venues, from Wakefield Cathedral to the National Coal Mining Museum, which makes it easy to explore new places as well as meet people you wouldn’t usually bump into.
It’s a good mix of informal chats and chances to learn something new. We’ve had the opportunity to set up a stand at a few of these events, talking to local businesses about how we can support their events, whether it’s with lighting, sound or stage setups.
How we support We Are Wakefield
We also took part in the first Wakefield Expo back in March. Over 500 visitors and 63 exhibitors turned up to share ideas and make new connections. The atmosphere was buzzing all day, a reminder of just how much is going on in Wakefield’s business community.
In July 2025, we are also supporting the West Yorkshire Conference, organised by the brilliant team behind We Are Wakefield. The conference, taking place at Pontefract Racecourse, will welcome 160 business leaders from all five boroughs to celebrate West Yorkshire businesses and bring the business community together. We provide event production for the conference.
For us, being part of We Are Wakefield is about finding new ways to work together. Whether it’s a quick conversation at a breakfast event or planning something bigger down the line, it’s all about sharing what we know and learning from others.
Here’s to more events and more connections in the months ahead!
