The Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, will meet business leaders and entrepreneurs from across the region when he is guest of honour at a lunch being held by networking organisation the Met Club.

The luncheon takes place at Hazelwood Castle, near Tadcaster, on Wednesday 21 July, between noon and 2.30pm.

Christine Armstrong, managing director of the Met Club, said: “We are really honoured that Dr Sentamu has agreed to join us for our July lunch, and he really is someone that doesn’t need any introduction.”

She added: “Since arriving in Yorkshire nearly five years ago to take up the post of Archbishop of York he has been an incredibly high-profile figure, fighting for many causes and being a fantastic advocate for this great county.

“He joins the growing list of high-profile speakers that have joined us for lunch over the past few months that includes Tony Hallwood from Leeds Bradford International Airport and Jonathan Wild from Bettys & Taylors of Harrogate.”

The luncheon is £35.00 + vat for members or £45.00 + vat for non-members. Further details are available at www.themetclub.co.uk or telephone 01423 525622.
