We are family

27th February 2025

What a fun, inspiring and often moving evening hosting the Leeds Chamber Annual Dinner 2025 on behalf of the West & North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce - a real pleasure working again with the top team! Excellent theme too: ‘We are family’, in other words family businesses.

A lovely evening at Headingley Stadium down the road from our home of 30+ years. It’s a special venue for big events like this as well as for gripping sporting occasions. We were in a wonderful space which looks one way for cricket, the other for rugby (league and union).

A pleasure to Introduce this year’s charity partner, Howarths Foundation, event sponsor Jungle IT Ltd, as well as key dignitaries and guest speakers plus the fabulous president, Chris Black who later welcomed me to a fascinating tour of his family business, Sound Leisure (https://soundleisure.com/):

“A few months ago I was delighted to hear that Andrew Edwards had been asked to compere at my Leeds Chamber Of Commerce President’s dinner. Having listened to Andrew on many occasions on our local radio station it was comforting to know that we were in safe hands on my big night. Andrew as expected did a great job throughout the evening and made sure that everything ticked along smoothly with humour and professionalism”.

Whether it’s hosting a live event like this one (which combined introductions, interviewing, introducing a musician and announcing the raffle results!), media and journalism training, recording a voiceover, giving a talk about dementia or chatting on your podcast (or something entirely different), do please get in touch. https://www.theandrewedwards.com/contact
