As a business with our roots in Sunderland, we’re proud to announce we’ve teamed up with Richard Reed Solicitors and Riverside Marketing Solutions to launch Sunderland Young Professionals.
Our very own Erin Winship is part of the team bringing SYP to life, alongside Laura Kerry, Hannah Cullen and Thomas Halse, they’ll be helping to create something a little different from your usual networking group.
The aim is simple, to help people in their 20s and 30s make genuine connections, build friendships and develop their careers along the way.
With Sunderland going through such an exciting period of regeneration and investment, it's a brilliant time to bring young professionals together and help them feel part of the city's future.
The SYP launch event takes place on Thursday 4 February at the Stadium of Light, who are kindly sponsoring the evening.
Expect a welcome SYP cocktail, light bites, entertainment from North East magician Paul Innes and your favourite arcade games. And don't worry if you don't live or work in Sunderland, if you're in your 20s or 30s, we'd love you to join us!
