A NEW peer to peer learning network has been launched to support family businesses across the Yorkshire region.

The Yorkshire Family Business Network is a partnership between York law firm Langleys Solicitors and The Family Business Network.

The Family Business Network was established in Cumbria, led by entrepreneur and family business ambassador Sue Howorth, who has now collaborated with Dave Clarkson, business development director at Langleys Solicitors, to bring the initiative to Yorkshire.

The launch event was held at the Old Library Palace in the grounds of York Minster, and featured a number of guest speakers.

Mr Clarkson said: “Our region is full of incredible family run enterprises and we’re excited to create a trusted environment where they can gain support.”
