About
Yorkshire Business Conferences is unique in the fact that it is a ‘joined’ Conference programme running throughout Yorkshire across the whole year.
The whole purpose of these district-wide Conferences is to bring together thousands of local businesses and to encourage them to trade with each other more. The result of this is more local capital swimming about each ‘sub-economy’ making it much stronger and hence creating and safeguarding more jobs.
Times are still tight for most and this programme enables huge numbers of businesses to meet, develop a relationship and ultimately trade with each other. Most SME’s actually prefer to work with other businesses on their ‘doorstep’ initially. It’s ‘greener’, more cost effective and ensures that the whole relationship is more responsive; as there is less travelling time necessary should it be required.
It is also, ‘self policing’ – if you are good, everyone knows - if you are not, EVERYONE knows!
As already mentioned, the most important aspect is the working capital of each area is retained in that area.
Trading on a greater ‘Yorkshire’ scale will also be a by-product as Kirklees’ delegates will visit the Bradford show, Sheffield delegates will visit Wakefield etc. This will allow for those services not available in each locality to be sourced at other shows.
Coupled with the local and regional marketing and PR, all involved will be continually seen by Yorkshire’s business community throughout the whole of the year.
Nobody until now has put together a ‘joined up’ Conference programme which feeds into itself and ultimately brings together thousands of Yorkshire Businesses across the whole year as opposed to just one day.
“The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” Aristotle
