Corporate Finance lunch 2026 – Agenda
The pro-manchester Corporate Finance lunch is sponsored by Bruntwood Sci Tech, a huge thanks to them.
We are also supported each year by Experian, who produce the well-regarded Experian report each year.
It got a little crowded on arrival last year, so we have arranged arrival drinks in the Whitworth suite with its own entrance, so plenty of room for networking!
