– 2 min read
Connect Yorkshire, the not-for-profit business membership organisation championing collaboration and growth across the region, is proud to announce ALT Legal, Rathbones and HSBC as its newest strategic partners.
The addition of these three respected organisations marks a significant step forward for Connect Yorkshire as it continues to strengthen the support available to its growing community of members, from entrepreneurs and SMEs to established regional businesses. These new partners will add to the existing Partners and sponsors. Partners&, Thomas Coombs, McLaren Leeds, Lamborghini Leeds, Alpine Leeds, WPA Healthcare, Clarion, Q5, Your Engine Room, Sales Geek, IDS Group, GRI Group & Leeds Rhinos.
Each partner brings deep expertise and a shared commitment to the region. ALT Legal will provide specialist legal insight and support to help businesses navigate growth, governance and commercial challenges.
Rathbones joins as a leading wealth and investment management partner, supporting business owners and leaders with long-term financial planning and sustainable growth. HSBC completes the trio, bringing its extensive banking expertise and global perspective to support businesses at every stage of their journey.
Crucially, all three partners are aligned with Connect Yorkshire’s not-for-profit mission: to create meaningful connections, share knowledge and reinvest back into the regional business community. Their partnership will directly support Connect Yorkshire’s programme of events, initiatives and member services.
Sophie Conboy, co-founder and director said: “We’re delighted to welcome ALT Legal, Rathbones and HSBC as partners. Each organisation shares our values and belief in collaboration. Their support enables us, as a not-for-profit, to continue delivering high-quality opportunities for our members and reinvesting into Yorkshire’s business ecosystem.”
Representatives from all three partners echoed their commitment to supporting the region and Connect Yorkshire’s mission, highlighting the importance of strong networks, shared expertise and responsible business leadership.
With the addition of ALT Legal, Rathbones and HSBC, Connect Yorkshire continues to build a powerful partnership network dedicated to supporting sustainable business growth and positive impact across Yorkshire.
Our goal since the inception of Alt Legal ten years ago has always been to curate a community and foster a genuine collaboration between the businesses around Yorkshire. Joining dots and creating opportunity rather than reinventing the wheel or “selling” advice in silos. We’re chuffed to be a part of an enterprise with the same initiative, focusing on the sometimes forgotten but always brilliant SMEs that underpin our economy, bringing them the support they deserve but didn’t always know how to access.
We hope we can continue to fulfil the legacy started many years ago by Nick and kept alive by Sophie, as the team grows into its new generation”.
Richard Turner, Founder, Alt Legal.
