TWO women with a mutual interest in motivation skills have teamed up to form a new company.

Head of her own firm of accountants Dawn Clarkson and author and businesswoman Hannah Russell have formed Leyburn-based Believe It Yorkshire.

Their goal is to motivate, inspire, and coach others and help businesses to achieve their goals with networking events, conferences, and have an online community open to everyone.

The first large event is to be in Pavilions of Harrogate on September 16, with speakers and a series of workshops.
