The Growth Hub is coming to town!

The Growth Hub team are coming to a town near you. We’re on the road with live business clinics, supporting real businesses with real business challenges from all over the region. 

Working with our business support partners from the City of York Council and North Yorkshire Council, we’ll be applying local knowledge and specialist experience to provide free and impartial business advice making a real impact to our local economy. 

At each event, we’ll be shining the spotlight on one lucky local business. The chosen business will have the chance to discuss their challenges with our panel of experts, showcasing the wealth of support on offer in front of a live audience.

We invite you to join us in person or online to see the available support in practice and ask any questions you have from your business. You’ll have the chance to network with other like-minded individuals as well as speak to our business support team on a 1:1 basis following the event. 

Launching in York on Wednesday 26 February, join us for this unique opportunity to explore the available support in action and connect with like-minded individuals in your area.

Scams warning as Self Assessment customers targeted

Scammers often impersonate HMRC, offering fake refunds or demanding urgent payments to steal personal and banking information. They may say it’s safe to share personal details. It’s not. Passwords, usernames, and access codes are private and customers should never share them, even with someone they trust or who helps them with their tax.
