After the success of last year’s roadshows, the Growth Hub is hitting the road again, traveling the region to bring the best of local business support to a town near you.

Partnering with NatWest Accelerator, and joined by Business Support Advisors from North Yorkshire Council and City of York Council, the Growth Hub Roadshow is set to showcase what business support really looks like.

At each event, we’ll be shining the spotlight on a business. The selected business will take the ‘hot seat’ to share the challenges they’re facing, giving you a behind-the-scenes look at how the team collaborates to break down the barriers holding growing businesses back. With each event centred around a different theme, take the opportunity to join us on the road and experience the region along the way.

💡 Each event will:

• Focus on a business-relevant theme, such as access to finance, start-up support, digital innovation and more.
• Showcase business support in action, with a live Q&A.
• Feature a hands-on activity to get you thinking.
• Provide opportunities to meet the team, partners and service providers.
• Give you the chance to enjoy a free lunch and meet like-minded people.

💸 Financial Foundations:

Each event will feature a practical Financial Foundations session led by NatWest Accelerator, a no‑nonsense masterclass designed to help business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs build a strong financial foundation. Bringing trusted financial support across the region.
