Newcastle Falcons’ re-launched Business Club is the ideal way for your company to network and hear expert advice from a range of distinguished speakers.
Sir Graham Wylie CBE, co-founder of Sage Group, was the special guest for the opening event of the season, held at Newcastle Falcons’ official restaurant partner, the stylish Gaucho.
A plethora of local businesses were in attendance to hear about Sir Graham’s journey to the top. The popular session received positive feedback from attendees, with the talk followed by a Q&A as guests enjoyed the opportunity to learn from Wylie’s renowned business acumen.
Another fascinating insight for Falcons Business Club members was in store when rugby legend Tony Underwood was the guest speaker for an event at Kingston Park Stadium, sponsored by law firm Irwin Mitchell.
Held on December 5th, the networking opportunity saw guests learning from a man who has transitioned from international sport to success in the commercial world, firstly as a pilot and more recently as a renowned consultant in leadership and resilience.
These events were exclusive to Falcons Business Club members and made up the first two instalments of a four-part series. Keep your eyes peeled for parts three and four to gain the opportunity to learn from more esteemed business professionals.

It is not just in the business world where Newcastle Falcons are learning from household names.
The club have been boosted by the recent return of their Argentina quartet, fresh from Rugby World Cup duty.
Los Pumas, as they are known, reached the semi-finals of the international showpiece out in France, with the Falcons having four players among their ranks.
Flying winger Mateo Carreras was the headline-grabber thanks to his hat-trick of tries in a man-of-the-match performance against Japan, while the defensive prowess of centre Matias Moroni was to the fore during their quarter-final victory over Wales.
Prop Eduardo Bello and lock Pedro Rubiolo added plenty of physicality and will now be fully focused on club matters as Newcastle Falcons attack the remainder of the 2023-24 season.
Key in that campaign is the pre-Christmas home game against Bristol Bears, which takes place on Friday December 22.
General admission and hospitality tickets for the 7.45pm kick-off at Kingston Park are available via www.newcastle-falcons.co.uk
