Throughout July, Ilkley Business Improvement District (BID) is shining a light on the depth of professional talent in town with its latest campaign celebrating local expertise.
In collaboration with Your Ilkley Radio, the BID has launched a new podcast series entitled ‘Ask the Expert’, featuring insights and advice from 14 professional services businesses based in Ilkley.
From accountancy and legal advice to health services and furniture restoration, the series showcases the breadth and skill of the professionals who help make Ilkley thrive.
Sarah Brookfield-Almond, Ilkley BID Manager, said:
“Following the success of our recent Food & Drink and Health & Wellbeing campaigns, we wanted to highlight some of Ilkley's professional services businesses.
“They may not always be front of mind, but they play an essential role in the town's vibrancy and resilience. This campaign aims to spotlight their contributions and promote the wealth of expertise available right here on our doorstep.”
Participating businesses include:
Ascentis Accountants, Bowcliffe Wealth Management, CFP Group, Cooper’s of Ilkley, Fowler & Powell, Full Circle Funerals, Hartley’s Auctioneers, Ilkley Dental Care, Ison Harrison Solicitors, Lumiere Photography, Right at Home, Tax Assist, Tennant & Darragh Jewellery Workshop, and The Valley Clinic.
Nick Hancock at Breakfast will announce new podcasts as they are released, which can then be accessed via the free Your Ilkley Radio app or website: yourilkley.com/radio/podcasts/
