Businesses from across Hambleton will gather next month at The Hawkhills in Easingwold for the district’s annual spring business conference.
The Hambleton Business Conference on May 10 will focus on business growth and what it brings with it, the risks, the challenges and the impact on the business.
The conference now in its seventh year attracts around 100 representatives of businesses, town forums and networking groups in the area.
Delegates will hear from Chris Wragg and Anthony Stones from Inspired Pet Nutrition on their growth here in Hambleton.
The business began in 1923 in wheat trading and they are now the UK’s largest independent producer of dry pet food, manufacturing Wagg and Harringtons at Dalton.
They are joined by Lee Harris-Hamer who left the Armed Forces to set up a business to provide cleaning services for both the domestic and commercial sector.
The business now employs over 25 individuals and they are in the process of franchising the business model to military spouses.
Jonathan Elvidge shares his experience of setting up Moodbeam, Inspired by a mum’s desire to know how her daughter was feeling when she wasn’t with her, it was created with the ambition to transform the way the world sees mood, by making it easier to understand and talk about how we feel.
Jonathan will also talk about the aspiration to bring a Centre for Digital Innovation (C4DI) to the Treadmills development in the former prison in Northallerton.
The conference is organised by the Hambleton District Council and sponsored by Federation of Small Businesses, Northern Skills Group – Middlesbrough College, Colin Hutson Accounting Ltd, North East England Chamber of Commerce and Teesside University and host for the day is Zoe Lewis, principal and chief executive of Middlesbrough College.
