The next Stray Ferret Business Club will focus on staff wellbeing and work culture.

The lunch at Manahatta on June 29 will hear a talk from Rebecca Gosling, HR Lead for LCF Law in Harrogate. The firm was recently named by the Sunday Times as one of the UK's best places to work. 

The aim of the monthly Stray Ferret Business Club events is to network, share knowledge and business ideas.

Rebecca said:

"Creating a culture of wellbeing in the workplace is not just a luxury, it underpins our HR strategy.
"We are delighted with our achievement in the Sunday Times Best Places to Work accolade. This is a reflection of our focus on our people and culture.
"I am grateful to have the opportunity to share LCF’s wellbeing focus with like - minded professionals."


Tickets for the lunch are available here.


Cycling store focuses on women riders


Specialized Concept cycling store in Harrogate is to become the first store outside London to stock MAAP clothing.

Specialized said it was keen to support the growing number of women riders - 40% of the MAAP range in store will be women's cycling apparel.

Assistant manager Felix Geldart said

“We see MAAP as a premium brand and I think it will represent a lot of the riders that we have coming into the shop.
"We're having more of a focus on women than we have done previously - over the past few years we've seen more groups and avenues for women to get involved in cycling."


Specialized is supporting the inaugural 2023 Women Race North Road Race league, across the North East, North West and Yorkshire.

The store is hosting a series of activities this weekend to celebrate MAAP's arrival.
