Bob Hanson, who provides building services says - "I am very happy with it.I get jobs from it.. I think it is better to have a set area to work in, rather than advertising in something like Yellow Pages which covers such a large area. It means I can do more jobs in the time available"

Chris, local plasterer says "I am really pleased with it. I always like the idea of community and the magazine was an ideal opportunity. It is really reliable and effective and a reasonable price. I find customers are less suspicious of me because they heard of me through the local magazine. You can tell they are comfortable and know that I will be available to back up my work, or the next time they need something done. It has given me the chance to build up a local reputation and trust."

" It has been very helpful I have had quite a few enquiries. I have even had work from outside the area, a reader passed my details on to a friend. It is definitely worthwhile, business has picked up. The only reason I would stop advertising would be if I get TOO busy." Simon James of Albion Lofts
