HOW York and North Yorkshire businesses can move on from the economic turmoil of the past 18 months will be the focus of an event next month.

York & North Yorkshire LEP is hosting its annual conference and will be focusing on how the region can transform and reshape its economy for the future.

It will be hosted as a live stream online by the LEP chair, Helen Simpson, and chief executive, James Farrar from 10am and 12pm on November 26.

A diverse range of businesses and organisations will be invited to share their stories of how they have adapted and grown over the last 18 months.

Through a series of short films, live interviews and Q&As, the event will showcase how the region's resilient micro and SME businesses can help our region plan for growth in a greener, fairer, stronger economy.
