HARROGATE International Centre (HIC) is inviting hotel and hospitality bosses to talk business over a free lunch.

The Accommodating Harrogate event at HIC on July 1 will enable hotels, guesthouses, B&Bs and apartment businesses to question HIC director Simon Kent and call for greater links between HIC and the district’s hospitality industry.

Simon will be joined by Angela Harris, project director behind Visit Harrogate, plans to set up a new organisation responsible for attracting visitors to Harrogate.

Phone Lynne Hudson on 01423 537276 or email Lynne.Hudson@harrogate.gov.uk to reserve a free place at the event, which runs from 11.30am to 1pm.
