About Business Ambassadors
Some of the region’s top business leaders were invited by Rosie Winterton, Minister for Yorkshire and the Humber, to be Business Ambassadors to promote the region.
These Business Ambassadors are using their business knowledge and experience to help other businesses in the current economy. They are particularly keen to promote innovation, support inward investment and to encourage businesses to continue to invest in skills.
Six of the Business Ambassadors are opening their doors for Success On Tour.
