Business Breakfast: Free export roadshow to come to Harrogate
A free roadshow that gives advice to businesses on exporting is coming to Harrogate, on October 16.
Export Support Roadshows will see experts give practical advice and information on funding opportunities.
North Yorkshire Council, the Department for Business and Trade and the York and North Yorkshire Growth Hub are working in partnership to deliver the programme.
Local business owners who already export will be among the speakers.
Interested businesses need to register on the York and North Yorkshire Growth Hub website.
David Skaith, mayor of York and North Yorkshire, said:
It is time to be confident, ambitious and champion our region’s businesses so we can reach our full potential. I know from my personal experience running my business, just how important our small and high street businesses are.
The project is funded by North Yorkshire Council through the Government’s UK Shared Prosperity Fund, so only businesses in the council area can attend.
Councillor Carl Les, leader of North Yorkshire Council, and chair of the Shared Prosperity Fund Local Partnership Group, said:
These Export Support Roadshows are a fantastic opportunity for businesses across North Yorkshire to find out more about how to engage with markets in other countries.
I encourage any businesses which are curious about expanding into this are to sign up and attend one of the roadshows to access the expert advice on offer.
