Gyles Brandreth back at the helm of The Business Day - as Humber flagship event goes virtual

Wordsmith extraordinaire to host live stream event from Bridlington Spa

Gyles Brandreth is to host The Business Day as a live stream virtual event from Bridlington Spa.

Gyles Brandreth is to return as the host of The Business Day - as a virtual event - in a climax to Humber Business Week.

The three-hour free-to-view inspirational extravaganza will be live streamed from Bridlington Spa, with those on stage adhering to Covid restrictions.

Speakers have yet to be revealed, but previous years have seen Lord Sugar, Baroness Brady, Bob Geldof KBE, John Simpson, Alexander Armstrong, Naga Munchetty and Josh Littlejohn light up the venue.

The Business Day is organised by Stephen Parnaby OBE, event director, on behalf of For Entrepreneurs Only and in conjunction with Bridlington Spa. More than 20 businesses sponsor it.

Mr Parnaby, vice chairman of Hull and East Yorkshire Local Enterprise Partnership, said:“Following the cancellation in 2020 it was important we still had an event for 2021, whilst ensuring the quality and calibre of speakers and content that The Business Day has become known for.

“This year’s event would not have been possible without the support of the business community, to which I am incredibly grateful and I am excited about the plans for this year, which we will be announcing in due course.”
