The Press - York

Meet the boss RSS Feed

What do all these profiles about movers and shakers of commerce and industry in York and North and East Yorkshire have in common?

They are all subjects of our regular Meet The Boss column in the Business Press supplement which is published on the first Tuesday of every month.

And they all appear in this roll of honour so that the business world can use the list as a useful research tool before coming face to face with them at possibly important meetings…

Do you know the perfect candidate? Why don’t you suggest him or her to Business Editor Julie Hayes at 01904 567144 so that everyone can Meet The Boss.
