🎉 Yorkshare Day 2026 🎉 

Something New is Coming to Yorkshare

Yorkshare businesses are entering one of the biggest shifts in UK supply chains and procurement in decades — The new procurement Act comits public sector buyers to procuring from local, sustainable, SME's.  Naturally then, organisations who lean into local, sustainable, fair and visible business practices are the ones securing the strongest opportunities.

Yorkshare Day isn’t just a celebration — it’s your chance to get ahead of the county’s next wave of growth.

Be in the room as we bring together Yorkshire’s most forward‑thinking businesses, charities and public‑sector partners for a morning of connection, inspiration and county pride.  Discover how other NW counties are already using our model to win work, strengthen supply chains, keep more business local, all while building a greener, fairer economy through the power of sharing.

Join us to celebrateYorkshare Day and our second annual event.  Hear about your counties very own digital ecosystem designed to keep more money, opportunity and impact within the county of Yorkshire.

Yorkshare joins, Lancashare, Mancheshare, Cumbriashare, Cheshare and more UK counties in creating a national network of local, sustainable, supply chains.  Book your place on Yorkshare Day to network, celebrate and find out more.

Because the landscape is changing — fast.

Becasue we don't want you to get left behind.
