This special issue marks seven years since I published our first magazine in September 2013. Although our business has changed and evolved, one thing has remained the same, our core mission to champion Swindon and Wiltshire’s businesses and organisations and help them thrive. Covid-19 has really made an impact on our high streets and our local independent businesses need us more than ever. That’s why we’ve launched our #LoveLocalWilts campaign. Over the next 15 weeks we will be championing our independent businesses and encouraging people to buy local and explore Wiltshire’s amazing towns and city – turn to page 12 to find out more. In this issue we’re also celebrating the contribution of Swindon and Wiltshire’s top 100 businesses. The Business Exchange Top 100 is the ultimate guide to the area’s most successful businesses Swindon & Wiltshire’s top 100 businesses ranked by turnover The ultimate guide to our most successful local businesses ranked by turnover. Turn to pages 24-26 to see who’s taken the top spots this year. I would like to take this opportunity to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who’s supported me and The Business Exchange over the last seven years, especially during these challenging times. The only way is up!
