Access to Finance: The Funding Escalator
With the outlook for the economy remaining uncertain and reduced access to traditional forms of funding, Denison Till, in partnership with The London Stock Exchange and Science City York, are holding an 'Access to Finance' seminar on 12 January 2012. The event will explore the various alternative funding options available to small and mid size companies as they seek to fund future growth.
This full day conference will give delegates the opportunity to hear from a range of finance experts on the access to finance options for SMEs available throughout Yorkshire & the Humber.
Representatives from Denison Till, the London Stock
Exchange, JWP Creers, Murgitroyd and YABA will share their expertise
and take part in two panel discussions during the day. The
panellists will include Martin Frost and Mike Ward from
Denison Till. There will also be support from the Leeds City Region and
Finance
Yorkshire.
The event will be held on Thursday 12 January 2012 at The Ron Cooke Hub, Heslington East, University of York, YO10 5GE
