I'm Sarah Chisem, owner of Knaresborough Podiatry in Green Dragon Yard. We are lucky to live and work in a beautiful, historic place but like a lot of the high streets around the country businesses are struggling.

Shopping habits have changed but despite this there are a large number of businesses that are adapting and moving forward with the times.

Emma Brierly is the owner of Huttons Butchers she talks about how different her career was prior to owing and running the butchers and working in an industry that isn't known for its high level of females.

Meet the people behind the businesses.

In a world that is ever changing it is important to know that a lot of the independent businesses are run by people , normal people juggling business lives, family, finance and health.
