Level Up North East: 2024 Successes and 2025 Plans

Let's take a moment to reflect on the past year and showcase the incredible progress we've made as a region. And what better location than Hopetown - the new rail heritage centre, opening ahead of the bicentenary of the Stockton & Darlington Railway in 2025, where we will be the guests of Darlington Building Society.

Looking ahead to 2025, we'll look at the vast range of opportunities awaiting us. By identifying key areas for growth and development, we can chart a course towards sustained success.

As usual, there will be plenty of chances to network and develop key relationships before and after the event.

The Northern Echo's Level Up North East campaign has been unifying the voices of our region. Giving them the volume to be clearly heard. We want to shine a light on the incredible achievements within the North East. Demonstrating that we are working together as a united region. We continue to demand that promises and pledges are more than just headlines and soundbites, but that they are delivered on.
