In March 2023 we spoke to Jo Young, MD of Ripon-based 3d printing and manufacturing specialists Additive X Ltd on why Ripon is a perfect place for business.
“I think Ripon is a great place to do business from, number 1 because it’s a great place to be and to live and to work. People who travel here just think ‘Wow! What a great place you’ve got!” Jo Young, MD of Additive X Ltd interviewed in March 2023

“I think it’s important Harrogate is on the national map, as more than just a nice place to visit, a nice place to live. It’s important that people understand that it’s a good place to run a business from, and there are some serious businesses in Harrogate solving serious problems for the country.”
Bryn Sage, Intechnology PLC
“Harrogate is a fantastic place to start a business, nurture a business or to bring an existing business. I think the key aspect probably is the people; and the environment for those people to live and thrive within. We are so lucky, we have everything. We have a town that is very compact, we have so many different features of that from countryside, the Dales, the national park that sits just outside Harrogate. We have the cultural features, we’ve got the theatres, cinemas – you name it, we have it. And it doesn’t really matter what you want, who you are or what you want to do – we’ve kind of got it!”
Rupert Visick, Strategic Property Consultant
“It’s a super place to work but also it’s a super place to live, it’s a great place to bring up children – the facilities and infrastructure here are world-class and it’s just a delightful place to exist.”
Tim Leigh, Stage One Creative Services , interviewed in 2019
“We’ve found over the years that Harrogate has attracted great new staff and candidates applying for positions, particularly those that perhaps have got a bit bored or disillusioned, or have had enough of working in London, want to move North and see Harrogate as having that ‘café life’. There’s also having that great opportunity of a great lifestyle and a lot of breathing space, and green space in the town centre.”
Simon Parker, Seven Architecture , interviewed in October 2019
