What people are saying about us…

  • "I just wanted to say thank you for all you have helped me with. During lockdown you have been on point with everything I needed, advice on new guidelines have always been up to date and measures upheld at every market. Your ability to help me to adapt my business to work alongside the changes in Covid-19 has been exceptional and I doubt my business would have survived without your assistance and guidance. I look forward to working alongside you into the future and I am interested in any other advice, ideas and support you have in the coming years."

    Sarah Kerry - Kerry’s Yarns

  • "Can I say a big thank you for all your efforts in supporting Spilsby over the last few months. The Market event on 21 August was a wonderful experience for all. The High Street looks much better, business owners are much more confident and there is a new energy in town. This, very much, reflects your work. I know that all the business owners that I have talked to have been very appreciative of your efforts. It is sad to think that your time in Spilsby is coming to an end. I do hope that this is not the case and that we shall continue to benefit from your experience, wisdom and energy in the future. The return of the High street is tenuous and there is a long way to go. I sincerely hope that ELDC will continue to support your presence and I look forward to your future involvement with the Town With thanks and best wishes"

    Councillor David Mangion

  • "As a female entrepreneur I know I can call on you to create all my business logos and branding and that they always hit the mark.

Your training was really easy to follow and fit my business needs perfectly, Thank you for your patience. I can't recommend you highly enough."
