THE YORKSHIRE Mafia business collaboration group, which has grown through social networking website LinkedIn, has launched a spin-off for young talent.

The Yorkshire Mafia Young Guns, launched by Dario Grandich of York’s Snapshot Media, who was shortlisted for The Press Business Awards Young Entrepreneur Of The Year Award, and Yorkshire Mafia don Geoff Shepherd, is an exclusive group for the next generation of corporate or entrepreneurial successes.

The Yorkshire Mafia encourages Yorkshire businesses to work together to strengthen the local economy and the Young Guns is following in its footsteps, growing at a rate of 30 new members a week.

The Young Guns will be holding an event for members tonight, in the upstairs bar of Revolution, Coney Street, from 6pm.

The event and first drink is free; sign up on LinkedIn.
