Business Breakfast: how to make the most of TikTok
This Tuesday morning we report on the HR executive who used social media platform TikTok to help her business and why the staff at Belzona got their hiking boots on.
Business Breakfast is sponsored by Harrogate law firm Truth Legal.
Secrets of TikTok success to be shared at Harrogate networking event
A business owner who uses TikTok for recruitment will be the guest speaker at a networking event next month.
Sally Bendtson, who runs Limelight HR, became a social media sensation with her entertaining videos during the first covid lockdown.
She has used them to raise the profile of her business and, most recently, even as part of her own recruitment.
She will be sharing the secrets of her TikTok success with Business Ladies around Harrogate (BLaH) on Friday, July 1.
The group meets at William and Victoria Restaurant on Cold Bath Road, Harrogate, at 11.50am on the first Friday of each month. The speaker's presentation is followed by informal networking over a two-course lunch, finishing at 2.30pm.
Tickets are £30 per person. For more information, visit the BLaH website.
Harrogate colleagues climb Snowdon at sunrise for Yorkshire Cancer Research
A group of Harrogate colleagues have climbed Snowdon at sunrise to help raise funds for Yorkshire Cancer Research.
The employees from Belzona hiked up the highest mountain in Wales as part of their year-long fundraising for the charity.
Lily Alexander-Pike from the company said:
“We first suggested the idea to the team after one of our colleagues had done it and said how amazing it was.
“We had so much interest and everyone really got behind it, either taking part or donating. We were amazed to raise over £3,000 for Yorkshire Cancer Research in sponsorship.”
The team, which consisted of 28 people from design and manufacturing firm Belzona and two employees from Yorkshire Cancer Research, began their climb at 1am to reach the 1,085-metre peak for sunrise.
Lily added:
“It was surreal walking up in complete darkness, but when the sun rose the views were just incredible. The journey back down was like a completely different walk when you could see everything around you.”
Yorkshire Cancer Research was nominated as one of this year’s charities by Sarah Furber, a member of the finance department, because she has family members who have been affected by cancer.
The team has also organised a chocolate raffle, a cutest pet competition and more to add to its fundraising.
