Helping hand for small businesses

The event, which is being held at the Shine Business Centre, in Harehills Road, Leeds, from 8.30am, has been organised by business growth consultants Velresco and the Yorkshire Leadership Group. Dr Mark Whittaker, the managing director of Velresco, said: “There has never been a greater need for SME (small and medium-sized enterprise) growth to stimulate the economy. In this event we aim to challenge your thinking, explore how you really operate and reflect on how it feels to work in your organisation.”

There is no charge but Haines Watts chartered accountants, who are helping to organise the event, are asking for a donation of at least £25 per head to the Children’s Heart Surgery Fund. For more information contact Mark Wilford by emailing [email protected]
