Vassos speaks at Business Luncheon
More than 560 businesspeople from across the district packed into the venue for the event, whose guest speaker was sports journalist and ultra-runner Vassos Alexander, best known as a co-presenter of Chris Evans’ BBC Radio 2 breakfast show.
Howard Matthews, of organiser Howard Matthews Partnership, said: “Vassos was really nice – a fabulous person. He was very amusing and very generous with his time.

The event was sponsored by Bagnodesign Ltd, which has a showroom on Cheltenham Parade in Harrogate.
The Harrogate Business Luncheon is held three times a year and is supported by Lloyds Bank, Williams Investment Management and the Harrogate Advertiser Series.
