Business Breakfast: Harrogate digital agency embarks on US expansion
Zelst, a Harrogate-based search marketing agency, is expanding to the US after 17-years in business.
The new overseas firm will be based in Dover, Delaware.
The company hopes by the overseas expansion will allow US work and clients to integrate with the UK team more seamlessly.
Director, Peter Van Zelst, said:
"The US economy is a little hotter than ours at present, and it’s a challenge to find highly experienced search and PPC professionals in some areas of the States. We’ve seen a demand for our services, and the different approaches we bring to projects. Establishing a business in the US was the natural next step.
"As one of the north’s longest established and most experienced search marketing agencies, we’re adept at working collaboratively alongside clients and agencies alike, and the East Coast of the US, in particular, is fairly straightforward to service, with its connections and smaller time difference with the UK."
Harrogate law firm to partner with Yorkshire Dales charity for second year running
LCF Law has entered its second year of partnership with the Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust.
The charity supports the people, landscapes, and wildlife of the Yorkshire Dales.
Since the partnership began, the firm has donated £7,500 to the trust – contributing to 500 trees being planted.
Bridie Johnson-Power, from LCF Law, said:
"Our first volunteering project with the Trust involved us helping to maintain the woodland and clear redundant plastic tubes for recycling at Bargh Wood.
"Then more volunteers ventured out into the Dales to join a mixed group of corporate partners planting 400 trees to extend The Hawes woodland.
"Most recently a group of us volunteered for the woodland maintenance day at Swinesett Hill, and despite the torrential rain, we got a lot done!"
Development officer, Richard Hore, from the Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust said:
"It's been great getting to know some of the LCF Law team, all of whom have been so enthusiastic about volunteering and learning more about our work.
"We know they have enjoyed engaging with our partnership and connecting with nature to improve their wellbeing and that of our planet."
