This special breakfast briefing is designed for academy trust CEOs across the north of England, as we receive an update on the work of the Northern Powerhouse Partnership – with inputs from and discussion with its Director, Henri Murison, and its Education Adviser, Frank Norris MBE.

Henri, as the first permanent Director, established the Northern Powerhouse Partnership as the business led organisation which convenes the North together. From securing significant investment in key transport priorities and further devolution deals for the North, to challenging for a better deal for the most disadvantaged from the education system, his team are focused on how government, business and partners can drive the North’s ambitions. Frank is a former academy trust CEO, having led the Co-operative Academies Trust. He remains an adviser to the group and is a highly respected educationalist nationally

The meeting will focus on key developments to support economic, social and education development across the north of England, with a focus on how academy trusts and academy trust boards and CEOs can engage and work with the Northern Powerhouse Partnership in the months ahead.
