We understand that people are busy and money is a bit tight so we'd like to take this opportunity to invite you to a FREE networking supper. The event will give you the chance to network with other local business women and to find out more about Forward ladies, what we've got planned for the future and how we can support you and your business.

The objectives of the Business Forum are:

* Identify local issues that are of concern to Chamber members
* Agree what action will be taken to tackle the issues raised
* Ensure that local issues become a part of the Chamber's future lobbying activity
* Provide members with regular feedback on lobbying activity.

The speaker will be Martin Dean from the Leeds Initiative will discussing the release of the new 'Vision for Leeds'.

This is a members only event.

This is Chamber event.

The new Chamber news section allows you to share your news with other Chamber members and the wider business community in Leeds, York and North Yorkshire. Selected articles will be written up by TheBusinessDesk.com and published on the site. A further selection will then be included in a fortnightly news e-mail from TheBusinessDesk.com, direct to the mailboxes of members and influencers across the region.

City of York Council is encouraging more local and regional Small and Medium Enterprises (SME's) to bid - and win - business with the authority.

Following the success of previous City of York Council ‘Meet the Buyer Events', City of York Council has joined forces with Business Link, Chamber of Commerce, and York Professionals to provide a Meet the Buyer event to help support local and regional SME's.

Tom Riordan, the future chief executive of Leeds City Council, will be the headline speaker at the Chamber's Annual Lunch in Leeds. The event will be the business community's first chance to hear what's in store for our city and you will also have the opportunity to hear from the Chamber's President.

The Annual Lunch is a great opportunity to entertain clients and network with the region's business leaders. Every year the event is a sell out, so it is recommended you buy your tickets well in advance to avoid disappointment.
