A FREE event for businesses is taking place, when there will be opportunities to put questions to local experts in Hambleton.

The Pop-up Business event is taking place at the Evolution Business Centre in Northallerton on Thursday, July 6.

One of those on hand to offer advice will be businesswoman Faye Levi. She attended a similar event in Northallerton in November last year which inspired her to start up her own marketing company, Faye Levi Marketing, which launched six months ago.

‘‘When I moved to Yorkshire from London I struggled to find the right role that also fit around my family life,” she said.

“The Pop-up Business Café in Northallerton was the most useful, interesting and motivating event I went to when I was considering starting-up on my own.

"I saw a variety of advisors over the event, including Gordon Lindsay – who is now my business mentor and who challenged me to come up with a business plan that would work, and David Gibson - who in any other world could have been my competitor, but is an example that in an area as large as ours there’s plenty of room for businesses to collaborate and share knowledge.

“It’s a pleasant change from the London rat race.”

Faye will be on hand amongst other local business experts to offer free, impartial advice on a variety of topics including finance, tax, accountancy and social media.

  • The event runs from 9am until 1pm at the Evolution Business Centre on the County Business Park and is organised by the York, North Yorkshire and East Riding Enterprise Partnership.
