Link is a vibrant group of professionals, collaborating to offer a safe space to meet up in person and share our learning journeys, while also broadening our professional networks.
We focus on business development and marketing; creating a network of like-minded people in Sheffield and beyond. We will be hosting fun, interactive events that bring us, and other professionals from different local businesses, together in ways the office can’t. Plus highlighting the fantastic venues we have here in Sheffield!
The group was created by Harriet Gardner, a solicitor in our Employment & HR Law team, who recognised the need for a dedicated space for staff members to meet informally.
Who are we?
The Link Group is made up of Wake Smith employees. Our roles vary from paralegal to solicitor, but we all have the same objective – to create a supportive network for like-minded professionals (no matter their industry!).
The Link Group meet to discuss development opportunities, share success stories, problem solve, consider upcoming local networking events, and to plan our own Link events.
We currently have 20 members, and we’re growing.
What do we do?
We meet monthly to discuss development opportunities, share success stories, problem solve, consider upcoming local networking events, and to plan our own Link events.

Until then, we'd love for you to join us at our festive social on Thursday 19th December 2024. We'll be heading to The Old Shoe in Orchard Square, Sheffield and then making our way to the Alpine Bar. This is an informal meet up, so no need to book, simply turn up and join us for a festive celebration before the holiday season begins. If you have any questions, please call us on 0114 266 6660, and ask for a member of the Link group.

Link is about celebrating all of our careers. Members of Link might not be in the same industry, but we all have common goals and want to expand our business connections and meet new people. It’s important we all share our knowledge, experiences and journeys, so we can help each other along the way in building life-long connections
