Ah, Bettys. If you haven’t been to this Northern institution and experienced its afternoon tea, you haven’t lived. Established in 1919, Bettys is synonymous with Harrogate and York (and other Yorkshire venues including Ilkley and Northallerton). Meanwhile, Yorkshire-based Branksome Partners Ltd, which is offering this prize, provides communications advisory services to individuals, businesses and organisations. Founding director Bernard Ginns has an impressive black book with extensive networks in business, politics, finance and media.

Branksome Partners pledges £100 of Bettys vouchers.
