Mobile UK looks forward to contributing to the upcoming Connected North 2023 event.

Taking place on the 17th and 18th April.

Gareth will be joined by industry leaders including Tony Hughes (4th Utility), Beena Puri (Greater Manchester Combined Authority), Emma Stone (Good Things Foundation), Hayley Hughes (Citizens Advice Manchester) and Jason Tutin (Leeds City Council).
