“I’m well into my second year with the Harrogate Business Group and have gained many insights and plenty of practical and technical help in improving my business. The workshops are stimulating, inspiring and contribute significantly to individuals’ and the Group’s development. Beyond the obvious networking opportunities, I've established personal and working relationships which I really value. I recommend the Group to anyone local seeking to develop their business and themselves within a supportive and enjoyable community."
- Nick Flint, Strategic Management Consultant
“I’ve been a member of the Harrogate Business Group for a year now, and it has been an invaluable part of my business journey. When I was transitioning from selling my care agency as a limited company to setting up as a sole trader, the group provided exactly the support I needed.
With access to practical tools, expert guidance, and a network of encouraging, like-minded professionals, I was able to develop a clear business plan and confidently take the next steps. The support I’ve received over the past year has been a game-changer, both professionally and personally, and I’m so grateful to be part of such a collaborative and inspiring community.”
-Colleen Gruenwald, Director, Alana Care Solution
“The Harrogate Business Group is so much more than your normal Networking Group. As a new business owner, I have found it very useful, not only as a way of growing my business and contacts through networking but being able to share ideas with likeminded people and learn from experienced business owners and entrepreneurs. I always look forward to see everyone on a Friday morning.”
-Michael Grant, Head of Accounting, Minford Chartered Accountants
