BPI has announced its sponsorship of the 2025 FB Fashion Ball Yorkshire — an evening of fashion, business networking, and charity fundraising, taking place at the First Direct Arena, Leeds, on Thursday 24th April 2025.
Now in its 27th year, the FB Fashion Ball is one of the North’s key events, bringing together professionals from various industries to celebrate business success and support charitable causes. The evening will feature the Yorkshire Business Hero Awards, a fashion show, and a celebration of diversity, inclusion, and local talent. As part of the awards segment, BPI will present the award for Independent Business of the Year.
Two team members from BPI, Henry Spencer and Jamie Senior, will also take part in the fashion show. Swapping the boardroom for the runway, they will model to raise funds for causes close to their hearts. Henry will be raising money for the National Autistic Society, and Jamie for Alzheimer’s Research UK.
Henry Spencer, Operations Director at BPI, said:
“The National Autistic Society does incredible work supporting individuals and families living with autism. It’s a cause that means a lot to me personally, as my brother is autistic. I’m proud to be stepping out of my comfort zone for such a meaningful charity and to raise money for a cause that’s made a real difference to so many lives.”
Jamie Senior, Associate Director at BPI, added:
“Alzheimer’s affects so many families, including my own. Supporting research into better treatments and care is something I feel strongly about. Taking part in the Fashion Ball is a great way to give back — and if that means walking a runway, I’m all in.”
Both charities hold personal significance for the BPI team. The FB Fashion Ball is more than just an evening of glitz and glamour — it’s a chance to give back, connect with like-minded professionals, and celebrate the positive power of community.
