Welcome to the Business Link Yorkshire Partner and Stakeholder Portal

Welcome to our partner website, dedicated to sharing informing with and from our partners across Yorkshire and Humber.

At Business Link Yorkshire, we aim to be a valued partner in regional and local economic development. We have aligned our services to address local priorities through our local delivery plans and our partnerships with local authorities, public sector bodies and private sector partners continue to be a high priority in our commitment to support regional businesses.

We are proud of our achievements but also recognise the importance of joint working in supporting businesses as the region emerges from recession and achieving their potential.

We would like to thank you for the support you have offered Business Link during our first two years. We value your involvement as we work together to help sustain existing businesses, encourage entrepreneurs and make Yorkshire and Humber businesses competitive and successful.

We hope you find the annual report, the quarterly reviews and our customer snapshots useful. This year we are able to supply greater in-depth analysis for local partners together with a more detailed explanation of the services we offer businesses and would-be entrepreneurs.

We are always looking at ways to improve our service and our partner relationships and welcome any feedback you have.

Quotes & Case Studies
Increasing the number of women in enterprise is key to the region’s and the country’s economic success and growth. A main barrier to that is often the confusion in the marketplace as to the support offered. Working in partnership with Business Link has made a huge difference to the joined up approach to enterprise adding value to the offering and removing barriers.
Etta Cohen – Forward Ladies
I see partnership working being THE critical factor for sustainable success and real effectiveness, both for the organisations and agencies delivering services and, most importantly, the ‘client/member/service user’. When people talk to each other and work together, information is shared, events are more impactful and resources are more efficiently used.
