Sintons, one of the North East's premier full-service law firms, has launched The Advisory Board, a brand-new corporate podcast series designed to go inside the minds of today's leading entrepreneurs, innovators, and commercial leaders.
Spearheaded and hosted by Sintons’ Head of Business Development and Marketing, David Pritchard and Business Development Lead Deborah Johnson, the successful series offers an unvarnished, behind-the-scenes look at what it truly takes to build, scale, and sustain a thriving business in modern commerce.
Designed to move past corporate jargon, The Advisory Board explores the raw insights, pivotal decisions, and hard-won lessons that have shaped the region’s most dynamic companies. Each episode sits down with prominent regional figures, key clients, and industry trailblazers to discuss both their professional strategies and the personal philosophies driving their success.
Guests to date have included Geoff Thompson, founder of Utilitywise and owner of South Shields FC; investor Neil Stephenson; corporate finance entrepreneur Abu Ali; and founder of Northern Insight, Mike Grahamslaw.
David Pritchard, Head of Business Development and Marketing at Sintons, said: “Behind every great company is a compelling story of resilience, strategy, and vision. At Sintons, we are privileged to work alongside some of the most inspiring businesses across the region every single day. With The Advisory Board, we wanted to create a platform that pulls back the curtain and brings that wealth of expertise directly to the wider North East business community. The response to the series so far has been fantastic, proving there is a real appetite for authentic, peer-to-peer business insights.”
Deborah Johnson, Business Development Lead at Sintons, added: “We wanted to move away from standard legal commentary and instead focus on the human experiences behind business success-the breakthrough moments as well as how leaders navigate modern market challenges. The Advisory Board gives listeners a virtual seat at the table with the decisionmakers shaping our regional economy.”
The Advisory Board podcast is available now on all major streaming platforms.
