A new consultancy has launched in Newcastle and Edinburgh to offer “top level advice” to growth businesses and high profile organisations in the North of England and Scotland.
56° North has been founded by John Penman, a former Lloyds Banking Group Director; Fiona Stanton, an ex-Senior Director of the Labour Party; and Anthony Thompson, who led corporate affairs at Virgin Money.
“We’re hugely excited about launching 56° North. It’s been clear for some time that many businesses in the North of England and Scotland don’t have access to the high level support and advice they should,” said Penman, who was brought into Lloyds to repair its reputation in Scotland following the financial crisis. Prior to that he was Business and Political Editor of the Sunday Times and Scotsman.
