A NEW Keighley business club has been launched.

Will Holman, deputy agent for the Bank of England in Yorkshire and the Humber, spoke about the bank's forecasts beyond Brexit and the impact on businesses.

The event, at Keighley College, began with food and networking.

Introductions were given by Heather Whitehead and Chris Stott, from the college.

And Mr Holman's talk was followed by a question-and-answer session.

The meeting was closed by Steve McGevor, of Stirk Lambert & Co.

Behind the initiative is Keighley Business Improvement District (BID), which says the club will hold monthly networking evenings and larger quarterly events.

BID manager, Paul Howard, said: "We'd like to thank the many businesses which have supported this new venture.

"The business club has got off to a fantastic start and we hope this is the beginning of many more great things to come."
