A fantastic start to the day at the Evolution Business Centre in Northallerton. After networking over breakfast, we heard from Mark Bates, from York and North Yorkshire Local Enterprise Partnership, who gave an inspirational talk about the great work his team were doing in the area of export. Interesting to hear about the support currently available to help local businesses sell their goods and services internationally. A big thank you to Marie Banks for hosting another great morning.
