    Nikki Yoxall, who will be part of the Future Farmers debate panel.

    It’s time to join the Stray Ferret Business Club. The third in our series of networking events in association with The Coach and Horses in Harrogate is a lunch event on March 30 from 12.30pm.

    Don’t miss out on this chance to network with businesses from across the Harrogate district. Get your tickets by clicking or tapping here.



    The future of farming is set to be debated at an event in Harrogate.

    Future Farmers of Yorkshire are set to hold a debate at the Pavilions of Harrogate on Monday, March 8.

    The event will focus on whether the industry can carry on farming as it has done for decades.

    Among the panelist for the event will be Nikki Yoxall, a grazier from Aberdeenshire, who has an interest in collaborating with other landowners to help regenerate land.

    She said:

    “All farmers work to annual cycles, and being so connected with the seasons is one of the perks of the job. However, if we continue to do the same things at the same time as we have always done, in a climate that’s changing and in the face of market volatility, it stands to reason that we will come unstuck. 
    “As our climate, society and ecosystems become more dysfunctional and unpredictable, we will have to look to shifting our collective mindset to one where we embrace regeneration, restoration and our capacity to adapt.”


    Ms Yoxall will be joined on the Spring Debate panel by Alastair Trickett, who runs a mixed arable and sheep farm near Leeds .

    Farmers Doug Dear and Bradley Sykes are also on the panel which will be chaired by Farmers Weekly Editor, Andrew Meredith.

    For more information on the event, visit the Future Farmers Eventbrite page here.



    Women's business group to host networking event in Harrogate


    A women’s business group is set to host another networking event in Harrogate.

    Ladies Who Latte (LWL) is free to attend and is open to all women who are in employment, own a business or are starting a business.

    Following a well attended meeting last month, the group is set to host another event at the Lilypad restaurant on Kings Road on March 8.

    Sarah Shaw, a European strategy consultant who co-founded the group, said:

    “Everyone enjoyed the relaxed, friendly atmosphere and no pressure to sell yourself or your business. 
    “It was great to meet so many women from a range of fantastic businesses, and it’s fitting that our next meeting coincides with International Women's Day.”


    Meetings are held between 9.30am and 11.30am on the second Wednesday of every month at Lilypad Restaurant on Kings Road. 

    It is a drop-in event with no pre-registration and those who attend can then join a closed Facebook community for further promotion and networking opportunities.
