We operate from a small office at the heart of our distribution areas where we are open for businesses and the community at large to drop in and let us know what’s happening locally.

Our ever-increasing free listings for small local non-profit making groups, community features and events listings help build stronger communities and make sure that everyone is able to support and take part in their local area.

The success of our advertisers is a measure of the success of the magazines and meeting their needs is core to our business. With an advert to content ratio of 60:40, regular advertorial content and listings on our website, many advertisers report excellent results, staying with us year in year out.

We are proud to be ‘keeping it local’, providing a place for businesses and the community to interact through our well-respected and trusted publications.
