Michaela Young

SME Business Advisor - North Yorkshire Council

My professional journey has spanned multiple sectors, including public sector agencies, sales, recruitment, and education where I have held front line and managerial roles. All my positions have been customer facing and have spent most of my working life building relationships and talking to people. In my current role, part of it includes managing Tyro Training – the commercial division of Craven College which works with many micro businesses and SMEs from the immediate area, to upskill their workforce with First Aid, IT skills and Land based qualifications.
Outside of work, you will generally find me with my fiancée and our German Shorthaired Pointer called Reg, wandering a path or cycling a country lane in our home village of Gargrave. When in Skipton, you will probably spot me being served by one of the establishments who stock something sweet, gooey, and loaded with chocolate. We need the calories to keep up with Reg!!
