It’s time to join the Stray Ferret Business Club. Our next networking event is after-work drinks at Manahatta, on May 25th at 5:30.

Don’t miss out on this chance to network with businesses from across the Harrogate district. Get your tickets by clicking or tapping here.



A Harrogate care provider has invested in a specialist unit for people living with Huntington’s disease.

Vida Healthcare opened the new unit at its Vida Court home, based on Beckwith Head Road.

Called Lindsay House, the facility will provide space for nine people and include a sensory room, medication management, as well as community services such as a GP.

James Rycroft, managing director at Vida Healthcare, said:

“At Vida we are always looking into gaps within the care industry and subsequently identified a lack of support available for people living with Huntington’s disease.
“Our ability to adapt and meet other specialist needs is one of our greatest assets, and we wanted to use this expertise to expand our offering and support more people living with long term conditions."





Harrogate company launches electric vehicle charger and app


A Harrogate company has launched an electric vehicle charger and free app to improve access to charging points.

Ivie, which is based at Beckwith Knowle, created the charger to help drivers charge their car at home.

Meanwhile, the company said the app will allow people to set up a charging schedule and control the 7kw charger remotely.

It will also help users find public charging points and show whether they are available.

Mike Woodhall, chief executive of Chameleon Technology, which owns ivie, said:

“Adoption of EV technology is a major component in helping to drastically cut carbon emissions, supporting the UK’s goal of transitioning to more sustainable motoring by 2030.
“However, ongoing frustrations around infrastructure and reliability remain and we are aiming to address these with a ‘truly smart’ app alongside our EV charger to encourage faster adoption amongst motorists.”
