Guests were treated to a welcoming drinks reception, a delicious brunch, and an engaging interview and Q&A session with Davis Cup Captain, Leon Smith.
The event also offered valuable exposure, with free live interviews from BCB Radio and attendance from Your Ilkley Radio.
The BID is committed to helping Ilkley businesses thrive by facilitating opportunities that leverage the £1 million economic impact of the Lexus Ilkley Open. This significant boost includes an estimated 2,000 room nights booked throughout the year by players, coaches, and their teams, who often explore our town during their downtime.
Our initiatives this year included inviting members to contribute to player packs, organising a dynamic shop window competition, and, of course, hosting this valuable networking brunch. Many participants even stayed to enjoy the tennis in the afternoon sun!
