The Stray Ferret Business Awards, sponsored by Prosperis, will be held on March 9 at the Pavilions of Harrogate. Early bird tickets are available until February 9. The event will celebrate success and business excellence across the Harrogate district. It’s a night not to be missed! There’ll be a fabulous prize draw for all attending and Richard Flinton, the incoming Chief Executive of North Yorkshire Council, is guest speaker.
Global hair and beauty brand, Cloud Nine, has opened two new studios at its Harrogate headquarters, bringing all previously outsourced photo and video shoots in-house.
The beauty company says the aim of the new studio is to develop the creative, commercial and media skills of its team.
The hair and skin stylist area has mirrors and lights with different coloured walls to suit models with different skin tones. There’s also a Green Room designed for the models and guests to relax in before and after each shoot.
CEO Martin Rae, who launched the business with his brother, Gavin, in 2009, said:
“We have created our own studios for two very good reasons. The first is we have a fantastically talented team based within our Harrogate headquarters, who are eager to create their own campaigns, from inception through to execution”.
“And secondly, harnessing the artistic skills of our own people makes perfect business sense, and will benefit us commercially”.

Knaresborough business group supports Ukraine
A lorry full of of medical equipment, blankets and warm clothing, supplied Knaresborough charity PhysioNet and the town’s Rotary Club, is due to arrive in Ukraine today.
The lorry left Knaresborough five days ago and has made its way to Zaporizhzhia in the South East of Ukraine.
Knaresborough Rotary President and Chairman of Physionet, David Kaye, said:
“This is the sixth PhysioNet consignment for Ukraine. The £6,000 transport costs have been paid for entirely by Rotary in Yorkshire”.
PhysioNet was founded in 2005 by Knaresborough Rotarian Peter Thompson.
It collects and refurbishes discarded mobility and physiotherapy equipment – including wheelchairs, Zimmer frames, crutches and walking sticks – and redistributes it for use by the disabled in developing countries.
PhysioNet and Rotary volunteers gave up their Saturday morning to load the lorry for Zaporizhzhia.
