    Business Breakfast is sponsored by Harrogate law firm Truth Legal. 



    A Harrogate business specialising in maternity products has raised £2m to help grow the company.

    My Expert Midwife offers 19 products designed to help women prepare and recover during pregnancy, birth and early parenthood, as well as midwife-developed webinars, antenatal classes and ebooks.

    Its products are sold online and in Boots, John Lewis, Ocado, JoJo Maman Bébé and Next.

    The £2m fundraise was led by Pembroke, which invested £1.5m alongside existing shareholders and private investors.

    Lesley Gilchrist, registered midwife and co-founder of My Expert Midwife, said:

    "Our driving vision is to help all parents-to-be on their journey to parenthood, every step of the way, from preconception, through pregnancy and birth, to recovery and caring for their new baby, whether that be through our expert information guides and ebooks, our midwife-developed products or our antenatal education services."

    New coffee shop opens in Harrogate




    A new coffee shop called Espresso House has opened in Harrogate.

    The shop is on Beulah Street in a unit that was previously home to Subway.

    It joins a flurry of new food and drink openings on Beulah Street over the past year, including Turkish cafe Sirius, which is over the road from Espresso House.
