By popular demand, we're releasing MORE ABCurry Club tickets!
We'd closed the doors on our next ABCurry Club Business Networking Event, but demand has been so high we've managed to allocate a limited batch of extra spaces.

And here's why everyone wants in: we're delighted to welcome Jaf Ali, award-winning restaurateur from the North East of England, for an intimate "In Conversation With…" session.

Jaf will share his journey and how he scales world-class service in today's challenging economic climate. His restaurant has been named Gordon Ramsay's favourite in the world, and counts Alan Shearer among its fans.

Grab one of the extra spots before they're gone.

The date is set.

11th November 2026. The Grand Hotel Gosforth Park.

The ABC Annual Awards. The Great North East Celebration, is back. And this year, we are going bigger than ever before.

400 leaders. 10 categories. One extraordinary room.

For 18 years, this night has been the moment the North East stops, looks around, and celebrates everything that makes this region extraordinary. The entrepreneurs. The community champions. The businesses that refused to give up. The people who make this place what it is.

2026 is going to be the most spectacular yet.
Nominations are open. Sponsorship opportunities available now.

Save this post. Share it. The North East needs to know. 🏆

🎙️ Don't Miss Out! 🎙️
Catch this week's Show Business LIVE on SPICE FM, this Friday (8th May) at 10 AM!

This week, join your hosts Ammar Mirza CBE and Jalf Ali as they discuss some of the biggest business stories shaping the North East and the wider UK economy.

Topics this week include Santander doubling its annual commitment to the University of Sunderland to £100,000, a powerful investment in the next generation of North East talent. We'll also look at how the Port of Blyth's landmark £100 million Battleship Wharf expansion is set to power the region's green energy revolution and create hundreds of skilled jobs.

Plus, Simply Business becomes the first UK broker to put small business insurance inside ChatGPT and we'll explore what this means for North East SMEs embracing AI and digital tools to stay ahead.

We'll also shine a spotlight on AB Connexions Corporate Membership and ABC Awards 2026 sponsorship opportunities, and share details on two unmissable upcoming events, the Breaking Barriers lunch with the North East Combined Authority and the SME Centre of Excellence Social Video Workshop on 19th May.

Proudly sponsored by the SME Centre of Excellence, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

Tune in for business insight, regional opportunity and a community that means business! 🔔
