What people say about us

Endorsements

“We were delighted to see a new, high-quality, community-focused publication come to the area in the shape of Local Ludlow. Following such a positive response to the advert with multiple new enquiries and our solicitor recognised in the street, we signed up for another three editions!”

– Elizabeth Armstrong, MFG Solicitors

“I like to see the local businesses to see what they have to offer. Supporting sole traders and family run businesses is important. The What's On section is helpful and I often use it.”

– Samii-Jayne Davies , reader

“A great place to advertise – this magazine is distributed so widely and is clearly very popular as it brings lots of new customers to us.”

– Rebecca Rogers, Acanthus Curtains

“Brecon Cathedral highly recommend the Local Beacon. The staff are always very efficient and helpful and the magazine has a large local distribution. On top of that, the prices are very reasonable so the Local Beacon is always our first port of call for advertising.”

– Brecon Cathedral

“The Wye Local team are a delight to work with. Nothing is too much trouble. It's a great way to get what's going on at The Bakers' Table to our local customers and very cost effective. We enjoy a discounted rate by booking for three months at a time. And as a receiver, I'm always delighted when it drops through my door, it's a great read and full of useful, local information. I can't recommend Lisa Marie and her team highly enough.”

– Nicola Willis, The Bakers’ Table

“Local Beacon is a great opportunity for us to advertise and enhance brand awareness for our new business.”

– Brecon Chocolates

“Just to say how delighted I am with the new-look Wye Local. I love that we get to hear about events and places to visit in Brecon as well as here in Hay and surrounding areas; and it’s great that the advertisers have a wider, though still local, reach. Great decision to combine the two.”

– Lizzie Harper, Natural History & Botanical Illustrator

“It’s been great to be a part of Local Ludlow as an advertiser, and with many of our staff and families being from the Ludlow area, we also enjoy it as readers too. We have found a great deal of bookings and conversations have come from our adverts in the publication and we are pleased to be supporting something so local which has huge benefits for us at such reasonable prices.”

– Jade, Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre

“Since appearing in the ‘Our Environment’ feature in the January issue, we have had so many old glasses donated. The activity is obviously working. Thank you Local Beacon, and keep up the good work.”

– Hannah, Specsavers, Brecon

“I have used the Wye Local magazine for everything from car wash to restos, events and just for info. I always have the latest one handy.“

– Tina (reader)

“From placing our very first advert in Local Ludlow we had a few customers at our salvage yard the first day it was out! An absolute pleasure to deal with Lisa Marie and her team too! Thank you!”

– Ludlow Salvage

“We are very pleased to be able to supply the Wye Local to the residents of Eardisley. The magazine has become so popular that we have had to increase our monthly supply!”

– Owner, Eardisley Stores
