The group was formed as a result of a partnership between The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, Leeds Law Society, The Institute of Directors, the Chartered Institute of Taxation and Association of Taxation Technicians, the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners and West and North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce.
Earlier this year, CPN hosted an event featuring Sir Clive Woodward, who is the former head coach of England’s rugby union team and also served as Team GB’s director of sport. During his speech at Leeds Beckett University, Sir Clive outlined how the “teamship” approach revolved around “creating an environment so good that everyone wants to be a part of it and nobody ever wants to leave”.

The CPN is all about collaboration, working together for the benefit of business and professionals in Yorkshire.”
The next CPN event, about the art of successful networking, will be held at PwC in Central Square, Leeds on Wednesday, July 5 from 6pm and will feature ‘soft skills’ expert Sean Costello.
