A rallying call to tourism businesses has been made from the top of York Minister as the Local Enterprise Partnership for York, North Yorkshire and East Riding joined forces with Welcome to Yorkshire to urge businesses, more than ever, to keep at the top of the game.
Standing on the massive central tower and taking in the spectacular views, Barry Dodd, Chair of the York, North Yorkshire and East Riding LEP said, “A lot has been achieved in the last three years and we now need to keep up the pace. Tourism is vital to the economy in the Local Enterprise area and therefore it’s critical that this success continues. With great businesses working with strong local tourism agencies and the innovative Welcome to Yorkshire team we have a winning formula to become one of the world’s top brands.”
Gary Verity, Chief Executive of Welcome to Yorkshire said, “Tourism here is outperforming the rest of the UK and growing strongly. We need to continue to pull together to deliver high level campaigns that will persuade new visitors from around the UK and beyond to make Yorkshire their destination of choice.”
As well as climbing up the 230 feet and 275 steps to get to the top of the minster’s spectacular Lantern Tower, the Local Enterprise Partnership has been working with Welcome to Yorkshire on a membership campaign targeting 800 tourism businesses and a promotional film showing businesses what membership of Welcome to Yorkshire can do for them.
As the tourism season gets underway the two organisations will be working together to grow the tourism economy in York, North Yorkshire and East Riding even further in the coming year.

Time: 09.30-12.45
Venue: Brough Business Centre
At a time when many firms are trying to bid for public sector contracts and public sector budgets are tight, how can you make your company stand out from the crowd? This half-day seminar (a.m) is designed to give you lots of useful information and advice, so that you can sell successfully to customers in the public sector. Speakers who are responsible for purchasing in their local organisation will talk you through the purchasing process: from finding out about contract opportunities through bidding and then the evaluation of tenders. Delegates will leave with a better understanding of the rules which public sector purchasers must follow, hear lots of hints and tips to help improve their bids and learn about all the support available. There will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions, as well as to chat over coffee with those actually doing the buying.

Board Member David Kerfoot of the Kerfoot Group gives us an insight into how he deals with risk on a day to day basis
"Instinctively a risk-taker, usually on the basis of fine calculations, David was occasionally inclined to be reckless."
