Stephen Bates, Conservative Westminster candidate for Newcastle North, was delighted to talk to young business professionals at legal firm Eversheds office in Newcastle this week. Stephen Bates said "it was a pleasure to talk with young professionals at the excellent hustings organised by legal firm Eversheds in Newcastle. The future of the North East economy is in very safe hands judging by the calibre of the audience at this event. I was also really encouraged whilst out campaigning this weekend on Gosforth High Street that one of the audience spotted me and came up to shake my hand"
