Members of Teesside’s female business community are in for another treat when we hold our next Ladies’ Lunch at Middlesbrough Football Club. Arrival is from 11.00am with a welcome drink’s reception, with time to network and browse the many gift stalls. Ladies will then be seated at 12pm and enjoy a two-course lunch with wine followed by our guest speaker, Kelly M. Whitfield.
Kelly M. Whitfield is an accomplished entrepreneur and strategist, specialising in employee engagement, recruitment and retention. Kelly’s mission is to positively transform recruitment by using technology to bridge the divide between education, careers, aspirations and employment.
In 2006, Kelly founded her first business, Adept, a specialist search, selection and recruitment firm. Kelly then founded Adept Payroll Services Ltd in 2013, to provide blue-chip clients such as Northern Powergrid and PwC with an ethical alternative to so-called umbrella companies.
Sought-after for her visionary perspective, Kelly has featured across the media, including live TV on Channel 4’s Steph’s Packed Lunch. She is also passionate about the prospects and welfare of children and young people and dedicates her time to supporting community and youth-based initiatives aimed at raising aspirations.
Cost is £37.50pp and includes a welcome drink and two-course meal with wine.
