Competitors
North Yorkshire has a thriving food and drinks industry which is expanding to meet growing demand.
Business Link food adviser, John Devos, said: "The food and drink industry can be hugely rewarding if you get it right but you must be one step ahead of your competitors.
"As part of this dedicated programme, people can get specialist support by having one-to-one meetings with an experienced adviser, have the opportunity to meet with other business owners, and can gain access to other useful networking opportunities.
"We are also providing a specialist food business start-up training programme of eight workshops that covers all the essential aspects of running a food and drink business."
