Business Breakfast: Knaresborough firms to be quizzed on energy bills
A survey will attempt to find out how badly businesses in Knaresborough will be hit by rising energy bills. We also have news of a Harrogate law firm partnership.
Business Breakfast is sponsored by Harrogate law firm Truth Legal.
Knaresborough businesses are to be quizzed about the impact of higher energy bills.
Knaresborough Chamber of Trade & Commerce said at its latest meeting it would undertake a survey of local businesses in the coming weeks.
It will attempt to find out how much their bills are increasing by and how much difference recently announced government plans to support them will make.
Peter Lacey, executive member of the chamber, which has about 60 members, said the online survey was likely to go out in the middle of next week and it is hoped members and non-members will respond to provide a fuller picture of the situation confronting businesses in the town.
Harrogate law firm partners with Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust.
