The Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund in partnership with TheBusinessDesk, is holding a series of three breakfast seminars across the North of England.

The aim of the events is to educate entrepreneurs about the funding options available to them.

The Yorkshire event will take place in Hull, at the Ferens Art Gallery on February 11.

Other events are being held in Blackburn in January and Chester in March.

Delegates will hear from like-minded business owners who have grown following NPIF investment along with experts who will demystify the complexities surrounding corporate finance and offer sound guidance.

The £400m Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund was established in 2017 with the ambition to transform the funding landscape across the North of England and create economic prosperity on par with London and the South East.

To date, NPIF has directly invested more than £135m, in deals that have attracted an additional £123m of investment from the private sector.

This investment is helping business owners that had previously been under-served by traditional lenders to expand, enter new markets and create thousands of new jobs.

Speakers at the Hull event include:

• Ken Cooper, Managing Director at British Business Bank
• Jan Brumby, For Entrepreneurs Only
• James Cook, managing director of Tevalis
