A six-hour Business Support Roadshow for York and North Yorkshire ventures is being staged at Thirsk Racecourse tomorrow.

The event, organised by Business Link York And North Yorkshire, is designed to help busy businesses find out about the wide range of support that is available to help them develop and grow. It starts at 10am.

Karen Marsden, Business Link's York-based information centre manager, said: "The whole point of the day is to provide advice, help and support in "bite sized" chunks, so that people can dip in and out or stay all day."

A series of half-hour business briefings will be held throughout the day to focus on a variety of topics, such as marketing, practical business law and business planning.
