The Northern Sustainability is back for 2025 and it’s bigger and better than ever! We are also bringing back our “incubator within an incubator” competition to pay forward the incredible support we get from Manchester Central.

Ilona Alcock, co-founder of Manchester-based business consultancy, Elevate, discusses both the individual and business impact of menopause in the workplace, and best practice for organisations when supporting women with symptoms.
