Ilkley Business Forum was established in 2009 and is going from strength to strength. We now have over 60 members as well as being affiliated to BADCOT (the Burley and District Chamber of Trade) and all its members and all the members of The Ilkley Business Network (Ilkley’s BNI Group).

We are organising a Retail Trail on 11, 12 and 13th May 2012 and our third Annual Ilkley Summer Showcase will take place on 16th June 2012. Our monthly meetings are educational and enjoyable and provide a forum for our members to network and learn how to improve their businesses. We are now regularly consulted by councillors and our local MP. We aim to improve the lot of businesses, large and small, in the LS29 postal areas including Addingham, Burley-in-Wharfedale, Ilkley and Menston.

If you’re not yet a member and run a business in LS29, what are you waiting for? The membership application form is here.
