The Essential Guide - Taking care of local business
12/05/2012
We care - we've been a local business for nine years and we know how important the support of the local community is to local businesses. Throughout 2011 the Essential Guide promoted local businesses in a bid to encourage people to use the shops and services in their community. After the success of the 'Live local? Buy LOCAL!' campaign we're fulfilling our promise to continue to promote local enterprise in 2012. Look out for special features and articles throughout the year.
