Our Next Meeting
Digital Tools for Operational Efficiency
09th February 2026 - Members and First Time Visitors Only
17:30 - 20:00
Work Smarter, Not Harder: Using Digital Tools to Improve Operational Efficiency and Everyday Business Delivery. This month’s meeting will focus on how businesses can improve day‑to‑day operational delivery through the smart use of practical digital tools.
Speakers will share real‑world, local examples of how businesses are using technology to simplify processes, improve resilience, and drive continuous operational improvement — without over‑engineering or requiring large budgets.
Members will leave with clear, practical ideas they can implement quickly, regardless of business size or sector, making this an ideal session for leaders looking to strengthen operational performance and work smarter, not harder.
Venue: The Pavilions of Harrogate, Railway Road, Great Yorkshire Showground, Harrogate, HG2 8NZ
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

“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.”
