North East to host leading insolvency conference for first time this month

Industry trade body R3 will host its annual Northern Conference in the North East for the first time this month.

Held at Ramside Hall Hotel, near Durham, the event will see over 100 insolvency and restructuring leaders debate the UK’s insolvency framework and its impact on the work conducted by insolvency practitioners (IPs).

The conference will also feature presentations from outside speakers on a range of wider business matters, including a session on the economic outlook for the UK presented by the Bank of England’s agent for the North East, and by Durham-headquartered Atom Bank on the future of banking in a digital age.

Neil Harrold, North East chair of R3, said: “The UK insolvency and restructuring framework is a fundamental part of the business cycle, helping to ensure that talent, assets and ideas are put to productive use and that creditors are repaid money wherever possible.

“We have a thriving insolvency and restructuring community in the North East which makes a massive contribution to the health of the regional economy, and bringing the north of England’s IPs to Durham and sharing their expertise with our regional practitioners will benefit all parties.

“We’re pleased to have been able to put together a diverse and interesting programme of events for our delegates, and are looking forward to showing those who’ve not been to this part of the country before what they’ve been missing.”

The event will take place on Friday March 24 at Ramside Hall Hotel.
