its circulation patch.
The move is designed to increase print
readership of the popular magazine, which
has now been running for almost eight years,
beyond Aycliffe Business Park.
Starting with this issue, copies of Aycliffe

“While many businesses have returned
to their offices, some are still working from

our circulation to other parts of County
Durham – it means we’re increasing the reach
for our sponsors, as well as promoting the
business park generally to the wider business
community.
“Our content will still very much be
focused on Aycliffe and its residents, but we’re
excited to be promoting the Aycliffe Business
brand further afield.”
