Is it me or is booking a train confusing?

Now that I have moved house, I will be a regular user of trains to get me back to Leeds for the many events we hold for Yorkshire Businesswoman and TopicUK. But, I have yet to get my head around the whole booking system! I wanted to reserve a train to get me from Cheshire to Leeds, simple, well you would think so! I have to change trains in Manchester but I don't think Trainline / Transpennine could make it more complicated if they tried! I have studied the many e-tickets they have sent me v

A busy old March!

March has been incredibly busy here at Yorkshire Businesswoman. We kicked the month off in the absolutely best way, celebrating the businesswomen of Yorkshire at the second Yorkshire Businesswoman Awards at the Marriott Hotel Leeds. The event was a complete sell out and what a night we had! The evening was full of fun, laughter and tears, happy tears I might add. I want to extend my congratulations to all the winners and to EVERYONE who was involved in whatever way, you all know who you are

Editor tries revolutionary skin treatment

None of us are getting any younger and if you’re like me, I yearn for the days of my youth when I didn’t have to worry about wrinkle lines, dark spots or a saggy jaw. That said, I am grateful to have got to the age that I have and know that I have earned every line and wrinkle. When I was growing up, there wasn’t the huge range of products to choose from that there are now, I think we can all be baffled at what is on the market. My mother believed nothing beat soap and water and as my skin was

A joy to attend and support Smart Works Leeds

I had the pleasure of attending the Smart Works Fashion as a Force for Good Ball, last night (13th November) at The Marriott Hotel, celebrating the people who support this wonderful charity.

The aim is to support clients to grow in confidence, get the job they want and change the trajectory of their lives.

Revisit to Castle Howard

It's almost 30 years since I last visited Castle Howard, I had forgotten how beautiful it was. On Saturday I was invited by Gillian Robson to attend the Bradleys of York and Faberge black tie dinner, celebrating the launch of their beautiful new Christmas pendant featuring a little Robin, voted Britain's most loved bird. Sadly Gillian wasn't able to attend for personal reasons but Debbie Dobson, director of sales at Dakota Hotel and I had an amazing time. Walking down the Christmas Tree ad
