Headcount
A Yorkshire Mafia room for senior people operators.
Headcount
The Yorkshire Mafia’s first HR & People leaders meet-up. Like all of our meetings, it will be fun, lively and filled with warm conversation.
This is an in-person evening built for conversation in a relaxed social setting, good surroundings, and an attendee list drawn from those shaping hiring, culture, and workforce strategy across Yorkshire and the wider North.
No panels.
Nothing long speeches to sit through.
Absolutely no sales
Just time, space, and people worth meeting.
Attendance is curated.
Held at The Banksia.
Welcome drink on arrival. Canapés throughout the evening.
For nearly two decades, The Yorkshire Mafia has brought senior leaders together across Yorkshire and beyond. We know how to build a proper room.
If you’re in internal talent and people teams, or organisational design at senior level, you’ll recognise most of the conversations.
