LAW firm Andrew Jackson has teamed up with Welcome to Yorkshire by becoming a member of its Y30 programme, which brings together businesses to champion the region and all it has to offer.

The legal firm, which has an office in York, will work closely with the tourism agency to ensure the region remains the destination of choice for businesses whilst capitalising on major events.

Sir Gary Verity, chief executive of Welcome to Yorkshire, said: “Our Y30 corporate members are made up of some of Yorkshire’s most ambitious businesses that are passionate about developing the county’s economy.

“I am delighted to welcome Andrew Jackson on board, which has a rich history here in Yorkshire.”

Mark Pearson-Kendall, Andrew Jackson’s managing partner, said: “We are always looking to build long-term relationships that bring mutual success and Welcome to Yorkshire’s Y30 initiative is a great fit for us.”
