About Yorkshire Ladies Links

At Yorkshire Ladies Links everyone is welcome….professional women, working mum's, start up business owners, fundraisers all looking to make new contacts with like-minded people in Yorkshire.

 

The story so far....

Launched in December 2012 by founder Melanie Malcolm. Mel organised and promoted events online and offline on behalf of her clients, she found herself introducing contacts to each other enabling them to network and collaborate so saw an opportunity to form an events company named Yorkshire Ladies Links.

Since launching Yorkshire Ladies Links Melanie has grown the organisation to thousands by using her marketing expertise to regularly update and promote events. Recent achievements to date have been organising The Yorkshire Ladies Links BE INSPIRED Conferences hosted annually in March, attracting over 1300 delegates to venues around Harrogate and Wetherby. The conferences are known as one of Yorkshire's largest networking event's for women across the region. Since then Yorkshire Ladies Links have launched their Autumn conference called The Yorkshire Business Festival hosted in venues across North and South Yorkshire, business workshop events, Christmas shopping events and charity ladies lunches.

Yorkshire Ladies Links conferences offer delegates and exhibitors an opportunity to network, attend award winning motivational speaker sessions and business workshops. Events are always well attended by successful women in business, mentors and celebrities that often support as guest speakers.  Each conference supports a local or national charity by offering charity partnership and discounts on exhibiting.

In 2015 Yorkshire Ladies Links became Co-Founders of The Yorkshire Choice Awards. A prestigious charity event and award ceremony recognising local people and independent businesses that are an inspiration in their field. The categories cover a wide range of backgrounds and skill sets, yet they all have one thing in common...

THE WILL TO ACHIEVE!
