The Business Exchange Swindon & Wiltshire March Edition 2013 | Page 3

CONTENTS NOTE FROM THE EDITOR INSIDE THIS EDITION This month,TBE celebrates 6 months in business. We couldn’t think of a better way to mark the occasion than becoming a groundboard sponsor at Swindon Town Football Club. We can’t wait to see STFC score in the coming months and make their way up the league tables. And, when they do we will be excitedly looking out for a glimpse of our banner on the TV too. We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported us so far, we can’t wait to continue working with you for the rest of this year and beyond. From inception we set out to provide a business magazine that is truly reflective of the diversity and talent in Wiltshire. We want to profile businesses of all sizes and industries and we don’t profile companies just because they pay us to, we feature them because they have an interesting story to tell. This month we put the spotlight on Warminster and in our research we came across a really interesting business in the town- Warminster Maltings. We contacted them for more information and they told us their tale - see page 14. The images they sent us were so vibrant we couldn’t help but choose one for this month’s front cover. We’ll be back at the beginning of next month with our April edition. In the interim you can stay up to date by visiting our website for the latest news.
