    Liquidators appointed at Harrogate conference company

    The company behind one of Harrogate's largest business events is set to be wound up after appointing liquidators this week.

    Brand Yorkshire Limited, which runs the annual Brand Yorkshire conference, passed a resolution for winding up yesterday.

    It has appointed business recovery specialist firm Leonard Curtis, based in Leeds, to deal with the liquidation.

    The company was founded in 2010 and its sole director is Richard Norman.

    After being cancelled in 2020 because of the covid pandemic, the Brand Yorkshire conference – held at Pavilions of Harrogate – returned in 2021.

    The event was held for the 12th time on October 6 last year.

    It featured almost 60 businesses in the exhibition halls, as well as a programme of speakers, and around 1,000 visitors attended.

    Until recently, the Brand Yorkshire website was advertising its 2023 event for October 5. However, the website has been taken down, with a holding page saying it is "under maintenance".

    The Stray Ferret contacted Mr Norman but he declined to comment.

    Compulsory strike-off action against the company began in February, after the company failed to file its 2021-22 accounts by the deadline of December 31 last year.

    However, on March 10, a statement was issued by Companies House which said:

    "Action under section 1000 of the Companies Act 2006 has been temporarily suspended as an objection to the striking off has been received by the registrar."
