We Are Wakefield

Nestled within the stunning Chapter House of Wakefield Cathedral, the We Are Wakefield Ambassador Dinner was an unforgettable evening of gratitude, conversation, and camaraderie. With a beautifully curated spring-flower themed table bathed in candlelight, the setting reflected the warmth and unity of the Ambassadors—an elite group of businesses dedicated to fostering collaboration across the region.

A Gathering of Leadership & Community

Joined by Managing Director Claire Sutherley DL and Chair Sir Rodney Walker, all ten We Are Wakefield Ambassadors came together to reflect on their shared commitment to strengthening business relationships and building a thriving local economy. Their role extends beyond financial contributions; they actively champion the work of We Are Wakefield, bridging connections between businesses, charities, education providers, local authorities, and cultural organisations.

An Evening to Remember

The conversations flowed effortlessly throughout the evening, underscoring the Ambassadors’ passion for supporting and engaging with their fellow members. Against the backdrop of Wakefield Cathedral’s historic architecture, discussions ranged from industry insights to the impact of collaboration on regional growth.

Of course, no exceptional evening is complete without exceptional food, and the culinary artistry of Create delivered just that. Diners were treated to a beautifully crafted menu, beginning with Arancini balls, followed by supreme chicken fillet served with vegetables and dauphinoise potatoes, and concluding with a decadent Rhubarb Bakewell tart. The meal was as much a talking point as the evening itself, perfectly complementing the elegant surroundings and lively discussions.

Celebrating A Special Community

This dinner was more than just an event—it was a celebration of the vision and commitment of the We Are Wakefield Ambassadors, who continue to champion the spirit of collaboration and inclusivity. Their ongoing support ensures that businesses of all sizes and sectors thrive within a connected, supportive, and engaged community.
