SHARPENING social media skills and perfecting PR are just some of the workshops on offer for business owners at a major networking event later this month.

Welcome to Yorkshire’s Y Business Hub which takes place at Wetherby Racecourse on Tuesday, September 27, from 11am to 4pm.

The free event gives businesses the chance to network with suppliers and tourism experts, and features 30-minute bite-size workshops giving advice on how to improve social media skills, get the media’s attention and use Google Analytics to grow businesses.

This year also sees the addition of a new marketing workshop, and talks from leading Yorkshire businesses on how to adapt and stand out from the crowd.

Sir Gary Verity, chief executive of Welcome to Yorkshire, said: “Y Business Hub is always a highlight in our event calendar.”
