It has been 15 weeks since team Source started working from home. Whilst we have been incredibly grateful to continue working for some of our clients, we simply had to address the lack of social interaction that we, as a team, have become accustomed to.

Once upon a time, in a Leeds that bears little resemblance to today’s shiny, uber-modern city; two baggy-trousered, big-spectacled PR men decided enough was enough.

Up first, for the brand new feature on our blog, is Senior Account Executive, Kennady, with her recommendations of places to visit in Leeds city centre. If you're a fan of gigs and food then you'll want to carry on reading......

I have always been a restless and curious person, with a huge enthusiasm for knowledge. Since I was young, I’ve always been asked what I wanted to be when I grew up. Surprisingly I had a different answer every day, which never seemed a problem as I thought that would change as I grew up and got to know myself better.
