🎙️ New Podcast Episode: Danny Wild, Principal of Harrogate College

We’ve had the privilege of working closely with Danny, and not only is he an outstanding professional, but he’s also a passionate advocate for education and its critical role in developing a skilled local workforce.

In our latest episode of the Better Business Podcast, Danny discusses the challenges facing North Yorkshire, including the need to upskill and reskill an ageing workforce, and how Harrogate College is helping to address these issues. He also highlights the incredible potential of the region’s thriving creative sector, which contributes significantly to the local economy yet often goes unnoticed.

🚜 A passionate voice for British farming 🍓

After the amazing response to our first clip, here’s another moment with Annabel Makin - Jones of Annabel's Deliciously British. Her passion for British farming is undeniable as she talks about the struggle to get the industry’s voice heard.

Annabel’s bold ideas and determination are exactly what’s needed—perhaps the government should get her advising on policy!

🎙️ What a day! Had an incredible time recording The Better Business Podcast at Innersound in York with two phenomenal guests: Annabel Makin-Jones of Annabel’s Deliciously British and Jacqui Swift LL.B Hons L.P. Swift of Swift HR & Legal.

We covered it all—from the challenges British farmers are facing under Labour’s policies, to the double standards women in business still encounter when juggling careers and motherhood. Honest, inspiring, and so relatable.

Can’t wait to share the final edits with you soon—this is one you don’t want to miss! 💡

Here’s a powerful example from the IDAS (Independent Domestic Abuse Services) '16 Days 16 Stories' campaign. It highlights the unimaginable strength and courage of survivors and the harsh realities of abuse that many endure.

These stories remind us why it’s so critical to support efforts to end violence against women and girls. It also reminds me why we are so proud at Haddletons to support IDAS.

Please read, share, reflect, and stand with us in this important cause.

Living under the constant threat of losing everything is exhausting. No one seemed to see the pattern—except for IDAS.
