#YorkNYBusinessSpotlight
We all know York & North Yorkshire are great places to do business. We want to recognise and act as an advocate for the incredible work undertaken by our entrepreneurs, communities and business leaders - especially diverse and female-led businesses and founders - and banish the idea of York being a place of business “hidden gems”.
