MORE than 7,000 people have attended a Yorkshire business event which has been hailed as the most successful ever staged.
Humber Business Week saw more than 7,000 people attend an array of events, ending with the Yorkshire International Business Convention at The Spa in Bridlington with speakers including former football star Kevin Keegan, ex-MP Michael Portillo, retail queen Mary Portas, former athlete Steve Cram and impressionist Rory Bremner.
The Spa will be the sole home of the convention next year, having shared the event with venues in Leeds and Harrogate this year but acting as its main base for 650 delegates.
East Riding of Yorkshire Council leader Stephen Parnaby said: “It’s something The Spa can be really proud of hosting and was described by one senior manager as their cup final. The staff at The Spa really go the extra mile and are an absolute credit to East Yorkshire.”
