CONTENTS NOTE FROM THE EDITOR INSIDE THIS EDITION Welcome to your Brexit free edition of The Business Exchange Swindon & Wiltshire. This issue we have an attitude of “Keep calm and carry on”, celebrating our local successes and all the positive news there is to share. Turn to page 4 to find out how plans for a new Swindon Science Park could deliver 600 new jobs to the town and on page 5 read how Chippenham-based Scisys is putting Wiltshire on the map - out of this world! In other exciting news we’ve launched our 2019 Techies Awards – celebrating the innovation and entrepreneurialism of Swindon & Wiltshire’s IT community. Find out more on page 6. Our cover story is Juice Recruitment, celebrating 20 years of serving the South West. Success is achieved through team work and we love their team pic dominating our front page. There is so much talent in Swindon and Wiltshire, why go outside the county when building your supplier network? Use our handy A to Z Guide to Business (pages 16-21) when you’re next looking for a product or service. Collaboration is the key to success, by getting to know other businesses in our area, we can all work together to grow our local economy. To aid this, we’re hosting our first ‘Big Breakfast’ at Cumberwell Park on Thursday April 4, 2019.
