We are incredibly proud to share Agent’s Founder and CEO, Paul Corcoran, has been named in the prestigious Northern Leaders 2024 list by Business Cloud. 

Following an intensive four month judging process, Northern Leaders recognised Paul as an individual making “the biggest positive difference to the North” through his work at Agent and its sister social enterprise, Agent Academy.  

Northern Leaders is aimed primarily at the business world but also includes figures from politics, philanthropy, sport and the voluntary sectors, with over 540 entries whittled down by a panel of esteemed judges. 

After being named on Northern Leaders 2024, Paul Corcoran said: “I am deeply honoured to represent Agent and Agent Academy on this prestigious list. 

“I am privileged to have been acknowledged by the judges alongside so many brilliant Northern leaders and I am determined, alongside our wonderful Agent team, to continue making a difference to our businesses, our people and the communities we are proud to work in and alongside.” 

Business Cloud executive editor Chris Maguire said: “We wanted the list to be representative of the whole North and I think we’ve achieved that.  

“You could have made a case for all 540 names on the long list, but ultimately it came down to the leaders who make the North a better place by their actions.”
