Free lunchtime events offer bite-size business advice

Published on 27/02/2013 16:38

Business people in the Harrogate district are being offered something for nothing, with a series of bite-size seminars held by Harrogate Borough Council (HBC).

The lunchtime events will all take place at Conyngham Hall in Knaresborough, at 12-1:30pm.

HBC spokesperson Lynne Mee said: “These seminars give you the chance to make the most of lunchtime and use the time to work on, not in, your business.

“You’ll be able to find out how you can improve and grow your business, and where to go next for help.

“You can grab some refreshments, take away practical business tips, and meet other local business owners.”
