About the event

Coal Dust to Cloud: Engineering Mutuality for the Next Generation
Exploring how purpose-led organisations are adapting to serve Gen Alpha and beyond.

About this Event

In 1853, a group of Yorkshire miners began pooling their savings to help each other buy homesβ€”laying the foundation for what would become Skipton Building Society. Over 170 years later, that same spirit of mutual support is being reimagined through cloud-native platforms, AI-driven insights, and a culture of engineering excellence.


This exclusive evening event at Skipton HQ invites attendees on a journey from the industrial revolution to the digital age, exploring how purpose-led organisations are adapting to serve Gen Alpha and beyond.


Why Attend:

  • High-profile speakers including confirmed keynote Raj Fowler, Director of Engineering at Skipton and former Amazon leader.
  • Potential appearances from Jon Smart (Sooner Safer Happier), Matthew Skelton (Team Topologies), and Gene Kim (The Phoenix Project).
  • Unique venue: Hosted at Skipton’s HQ, this is a rare opportunity to go behind the scenes of one of the UK’s most digitally ambitious mutuals.
  • Networking, food & drinks provided in a relaxed, inspiring setting.

What You’ll Learn:

  • How Skipton is blending heritage and innovation to serve both long-standing members and digital-first generations.
  • The evolution of engineering cultureβ€”from command-and-control to autonomy, flow, and psychological safety.
  • How Jon Smart frames the shift from industrial-era management to adaptive, outcome-focused delivery.
  • How Matthew Skelton’s Team Topologies model is being applied to create stream-aligned, high-performing teams.
  • How Gene Kim’s Beyond the Phoenix Project narrative ties these threads together into a vision for resilient, value-driven organisations.
  • Lessons from AutoTrader’s transformation from print catalogues to digital innovation, showcasing the power of reinvention in the North
