Business Breakfast: Harrogate hearing company expands to second practice
Business Breakfast is sponsored by Harrogate law firm Truth Legal.
A Harrogate health business is set to expand to a second branch after four years of success in the town.
The Hearing Suite will open a new practice at No 6 The Grove in Ilkley following growth at its premises on East Parade.
Founder Emily Woodmansey, pictured, set up the practice alone but has expanded to offer a team of three audiologists and an ENT consultant.
Having grown up in Ilkley, she recognised that many of her current patients are making the journey to Harrogate and a closer practice would be more convenient for them.
She said:
The practice will have a dedicated wax removal room on the ground floor, along with a full testing suite on the first floor.
The Hearing Suite's employee Olivia, a former NHS senior audiologist will be the practice's head of service and it will offer the same services as the Harrogate branch including wax removal, hearing consultations, tinnitus management and hearing aids.

Ripon BID considers joint trade waste provision
Businesses in central Ripon could benefit from a collective trade waste contract if plans by the city's Business Improvement District are supported.
The BID is currently asking businesses for their views on the plans, which could also be opened to businesses which don't pay the levy in exchange for a fee.
In a message sent out with the survey, BID manager Lilla Bathurst said:
The organisation said a central contractor could improve reliability and frequency of collections, as well as reduce the costs to BID levy payers. It could also increase the amount of waste sent for recycling instead of going to landfill.
There is also the potential to improve the city centre environment by making more frequent collections and reducing the number of vehicles being used to complete them, said the BID.
