“The East Riding is home to a number of business successes and we hope that, by showcasing their story, they can help inspire others.

“There are more than 12,500 businesses operating in the East Riding, with 87 per cent of these (11,125) classified as micro-firms, with 0-10 employees, and a further 9.5 per cent (1,208) indentified as small firms of between 11-49 employees.

“By hosting events with highly-knowledgeable and inspirational guest speakers, the council aims to provide a forum where small businesses can access practical advice and support which is vital in helping them flourish and prosper.”
