Business Link Yorkshire’s advisers are to take to the road to make it easier for local businesses to access face-to-face support.

The mobile unit will visit Pateley Bridge on Tuesday February 9, with advisors on board to answer questions and offer advice.

Local business manager, Brian Woodhouse, said: “This is an opportunity for businesses that are located in the remoter parts of the region to come and meet their local business advisers face-to-face.

"As always, we’ll offer our guests a very warm welcome and we like them to come and join us for a coffee and a chat about their business. We can help them set up, survive, grow, increase profitability and access the best advice to move their business forward.

“It’s also very important that people realise we have a whole team of business advisers to support them, all local people, with a combined wealth of business knowledge and experience.

“Our services are impartial, free and we fully understand the issues Harrogate businesses are facing.”

A range of factsheets are available to take away and representatives from the Harrogate and Dales Tourism Partnership and Growing Routes will be there on the day. There will be information available on marketing, customer services, and selling on the web, vouchers, and details on funding opportunities available.

The mobile unit will be at the lower car park off Nidd Walk from 10am to 4pm on Tuesday February 9.
