We want to hear about those stories of success in the region

They offer great examples of how time spent at an early stage ensuring a full grasp of the competition and any peculiarities of the market in their particular area can have huge benefits as a business grows.

Many of the companies have remarkable tales to tell, from how the market research was conducted, what pitfalls became apparent and how they were overcome.

RBS wants the owners of these businesses to come forward, so their success stories can be shared across the region, and help and encourage new ventures to take shape.

The bank hopes to turn the spotlight on one of these successful businesses, as it celebrates the ambition and entrepreneurial spirit which thrives throughout Yorkshire.

It is looking for companies which have shown real innovation and success, coupled with evidence of a strong financial performance and commitment to developing staff and the future of the business.

Yorkshire has a host of fantastic SMEs, and RBS is keen to highlight the wealth of talent and hard-working firms across the region.
