After 40 years, it’s not surprising that one of the strongest points about the Society is its established links and connections to the Yorkshire economy. With a growing membership and increased interest from the corporate world, The Yorkshire Society is now gearing up to welcome more corporate members.
The Yorkshire Society is a membership organisation with a difference. Strictly non-political, it is a community of ordinary people doing extraordinary things who, in the best traditions of being Yorkshire, like to just ‘get on with it’.
Unlike other business organisations, it is the only Yorkshire-wide, not for profit organisation, that covers all industry sectors and without any geographical limitation. So, its scope, size and scale is wider and bigger which means more potential and opportunities for those involved.
Then there is the key factor, that everyone involved and all our members have something in common – a love of Yorkshire. This common interest fosters great relationships – relationships that benefit everyone. The Yorkshire Society brings the people of Yorkshire together, for business and pleasure, literally and figuratively. It is managed and run by volunteers for the benefit of its members, and for the greater good – for Yorkshire, not for profit.
