Yorkshire County Cricket club's new coach on front foot at Huddersfield Town Enterprise Academy

The breakfast networking event, which was hosted by Huddersfield Town Football Club’s commercial director Sean Jarvis, attracted a diverse business audience to Kirklees College.

Mr Gale, who was previously Yorkshire County Cricket club’s captain, said there were many similarities between leadership in sport and business.

Mr Jarvis said afterwards: “This event was about leadership, management and a bit of motivation as well.”

Kirklees College commercial manager Jason Taylor said: “We were honoured to have Andy Gale as our guest, and look forward to continuing our support for the local business community.”
