The Business Exchange Swindon & Wiltshire April/May Edition 2015 | Page 3

CONTENTS NOTE FROM THE EDITOR INSIDE THIS EDITION 4 BUSINESS NEWS March was a busy month at TBE Towers with some new arrivals to the team. In August last year we joined forces with Swindon Link to strengthen the business offering and this has now been doubled by the joining of Jamie Hill and Dave Stewart from The Ocelot- the South West’s biggest entertainment guide. It’s an exciting time as we now have an unrivalled offering, with three very different but complementary publications in the fold. Jamie will take over my role at Swindon Link as group editor, freeing me up to concentrate on TBE editorial and the commercial and marketing elements across the portfolio of publications. Dave is now sales director for the group working across all three magazines. We are looking forward to meeting you at The Business Show Swindon on 23 April and telling you all about our new coverage. Visit us on stand 18 to meet the team and be in with a chance of winning a marketing campaign worth £500. To find out all about the show, turn to the middle pages of the magazine and find a pull-out guide for you to use on the day. Our cover story is revealed on page 12. Find out about Dusty Ape, the county’s only commercial coffee roaster. We are always keen to hear your business news, please do keep in touch by emailing us or giving us a call, you’ll find my contact details at the footer of this column. You can also sign-up to receive our regular e-news bulletins by submitting your email details too. Wishing you a fruitful month.
