The Wakefield Business Lunch puts Wakefield on the Map – 15th March 2023.
Wakefield College played host to the first Wakefield Business Lunch, which saw 80 diners come together to celebrate putting Wakefield on the map! This wonderful event was delivered by We Are Wakefield and The Yorkshire Society with collaborative support from We Are Wakefield members, Elis, Rhubarb Radio and Chris Whittam Photography.
Wakefield College catering and hospitality students gained hands on experience as part of their learning as they prepared and served welcome drinks, canapes and a stunning three course lunch to attendees from across West Yorkshire and beyond.
President of Wakefield Civic Society, Kevin Trickett MBE had the audience gasping at wonderful stories of how Richard of York Gave Battle in Vain here in Wakefield, and why we should always think of Wakefield when we see a rainbow.
Sir Rodney Walker then took guests on a journey of how an ordinary boy from Wakefield became a Knight of the Realm and continued to offer support and opportunities within the District by inviting local marketing companies to work within his latest exciting business venture.
The event was broadcast live on Rhubarb Radio with interviews from the attending businesses and organisers of the event.
