An online butcher from Ripon has been acquired by specialist consumer brand investor Inverleith.

Farmison & Co has a focus on British heritage and rare breeds, and an ethical, sustainable supply chain. It sells beef and pork.

John Pallagi, Farmison founder and chief executive, said:

"We now have the backing to take the business to the next stage and for our mission to encourage more people to eat better meat."






Harrogate jeweller to sponsor football team




Ogden of Harrogate is supporting grassroots girls’ football by sponsoring Pannal Sport Pythons under-12s.

Rob Ogden, director of Ogden of Harrogate, said:

“The girls are talented and passionate and it’s great to see this and be able to encourage it. Due, in part, to the lack of funding and interest in female football a lot of young talented players give up.
“We’re hoping that in a small way our support will encourage some of the girls to keep going and, who knows, we may have a future Lucy Bronze or Rachel Daly in the team."






Chamber meeting to focus on social media




Tonight's meeting of Harrogate District Chamber of Commerce will include a talk on how to maximise social media in marketing strategies.

Meetings are open to all chamber members and free to attend for first-time visitors. Subsequent visits are £10 per person.
