Local concerns invited to business roadshow at Bridlington Spa
Bridlington businesses are being invited to meet Councillor Anne Handley, East Riding of Yorkshire Council Leader, as part of a series of business roadshows taking place this autumn.
The events will take place at Bridlington Spa, on Monday, September 28, Kilnwick Percy Golf Club in Pocklington on Monday, October 5, and Goole Market Hall on Tuesday, October 6.
There will also be a roadshow at the Meridien Centre in Withernsea on Monday, October 12 and at Cottingham Parks Gold and Leisure Club on Friday, October 23.
The events will showcase the support available through Invest East Yorkshire’s Business Support Services, including one-to-one advice, funding guidance, workshops and events, specialist support, and opportunities to connect with other businesses.
During 2025–26, Business Support Services supported 1,112 businesses across the East Riding, helped create 65 jobs and 47 new businesses, and supported businesses which went on to secure £52 million in contracts.
Each roadshow will include a briefing from Cllr Handley, an overview of the support available to businesses, insights from a regional business, an opportunity for businesses to ask questions and share their views, and networking with other local organisations and council representatives.
Cllr Anne Handley, leader of East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “Businesses are at the heart of our local economy, and I want to hear directly from them about what is working well, where the challenges are, and what more we can do to support their ambitions.
“These roadshows are an opportunity for to meet businesses in their own communities, talk about the work we are doing to support economic growth, and listen to their experiences and priorities.”
The events are free to attend, with tea, coffee, and light refreshments provided.
Places are limited and advance booking is required. More information, and to book a place, can be found at https://investeastyorkshire.co.uk/events/
