Business description
This is a local Trade Marked directory publication with an online local directory service, in which local residents or businesses can search for services or suppliers, by classification, name, area or postcode. They also have the ability to view all listings within a classification for the whole coverage area of the directory.With three local directories covering three of the main centres in Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire, these directories contain local businesses and services that are truly local to the locals. Users will find local information for great suggestions about where to take the children in the school holidays to the local council numbers. Classifications cover the majority of local businesses and services that are offered within the area covered by each directory.
This is a local company, established in June 2006, who cover the directory area all year round and as such are constantly checking data to ensure that all information is both comprehensive and accurate, making this the only publication needed and the only on-line directory necessary. With a combination of the website and printed directory there really is no need to look anywhere else for all local services and products in the areas covered. Although the company was established in 2006 the current owners have over 20 years experience in directory publishing and were fortunate to bring the vast majority of clients with them when they launched as a completely independent business nearly 3 years ago. Being local they cover the directory area all year round and, as such, are constantly checking data to ensure that all information is both comprehensive and accurate making this the only publication needed and the only on-line directory necessary. With a combination of the website and printed directory there really is no need to look anywhere else for all local services and products in the areas covered.
This business prides itself on the fact that the majority of the businesses featured, either live in, or have business premises in, one of the areas the directory is delivered to. The directories are well established and each area deliver to over 60,000 letterboxes annually within their publication areas. Above all it lives up to its name, it is a LOCAL directory, with local businesses, for local people.
The owner has reluctantly reached the decision to sell this thriving business which has excellent potential for the future, particularly to increase the areas as there is now a successful format in place. This decision has been made due to increasing family comittments.
