This year, once again, we will hearing from Paul who is the Bank of England’s Deputy Agent for Yorkshire and the Humber. He is an experienced economist who has worked across a range of public and private sector organisations in a career spanning more than 30 years. Paul will talk about the role of the Bank of England, the causes of the recent high inflation in the UK, and the Bank’s response to date.

Our core benefits
Network
The meetings begin with networking in Harrogate's popular hotels and other venues. As well as the nine monthly meetings each year, there are three meetings specifically for networking. Two are known as Safaris, which are effectively speed networking events, and the third is a summer social.
Learn
Each meeting has a topic relevant to local businesses, such as tourism, traffic, health & wellbeing or the economy. Guest speakers are invited to share their expertise and knowledge with the audience, who can also ask questions. At each meeting, there is time for members to announce their latest news, events and special offers.
Lobby
Harrogate District Chamber of Commerce has a long track record of acting on behalf of its members to bring about improvements for the business community. We believe that working together gives us a much stronger voice at all levels.
“Businesses are strongest when they are united in a common purpose. We will continue to work closely with all the business organisations in the Harrogate district and hope that our joint efforts can be the greatest force for positive development that our area has ever known.”
