Northern Creatives™ is a new T-Shirts and Suits® project in partnership with NorthernNet™ to help creative enterprises to innovate and make profitable collaborations across the three regions of the North of England.
All creative businesses in the North East, Yorkshire and the North West regions are welcome to join the Northern Creatives network.
David Parrish from the T-Shirts and Suits Creative Enterprise Network™ is working in partnership with NorthernNet to organise events to encourage innovation and collaborations between Northern creative enterprises.
Grants will be available for creative businesses to explore creative collaborations. These collaborations must be with a company in another region of the North (North East, North West and Yorkshire). The first events will link creative enterprises in Yorkshire with businesses in the North West.
Events will help connect creative companies in Yorkshire with potential partners in the North West through half-day workshops which will address the business issues involved in creating profitable collaborations. These dual-location interactive workshop events will link businesses in Yorkshire and the North West using the Media Access Bureaus (MABs) of the NorthernNet high-speed telecommunication infrastructure located in Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester and Sheffield.
To express an interest in these events, you should join this Northern Creatives group on the T-Shirts and Suits Creative Enterprise Network. This is not compulsory but members of this group will be the first to be notified of the events in Leeds, Sheffield, Manchester and Liverpool. It's free to join this network and easy to add information to promote your business to potential collaborators in other regions of the North of England - and beyond.
Creative businesses in the north of England can benefit by innovating and collaborating across the northern regions, becoming more competitive at a time when the BBC is moving to MediaCity UK in Salford and the Northern Way Growth Fund has invested £9.4m in NorthernNet, a high speed telecommunications infrastructure offering reliable symmetric network of 100Mbs upgradeable to 1 Gbps.
This new NorthernNet infrastructure includes new Media Access Bureaus (MABs) in cities across the northern regions and has been designed to enable collaboration across the North West, Yorkshire and the North East.

There's never been a better time for creative enterprises across the North of England to find suitable collaborators and win new business.
