We asked some of our members why they appreciated the NWFD events:

“The events provide a very useful update on topical issues; the workshop element promotes inter-action on each table. I have always taken away something useful from the discussions. It is helpful to hear another company’s actual experiences.” John Cottam, FD – Silcoms

“I find the variety of subjects covered is always beneficial. Each subject is handled in a concise manner; therefore, if one is not of relevance it does not dominate the meeting.” Andrew McLaughlan, FD – Hen House Wholesale

“The NWFD network is a splendid way to keep informed without having to loose the best part of a day and the speakers andfinancial updates are really useful.” Isabelle Maddock, FC – James Cropper PLC

“An excellent event with opportunity to hear from expert speakers discussing current topics and network with like minded individuals.” Jonathan Scopes, FD – Vindon Healthcare

“The informal structure provides a great chance to network, brainstorm and keep up to date with accounting and tax changes.” Stewart Astley, FD – Kitsons Environmental

“Good chance to meet fellow FDs and discuss current accountancy topics.” Martin Drury, FD – Fort Vale Engineering

“Useful, informative, enjoyable networking event.” Margaret Ingram, FD – Napthens Solicitors
