As the magazine took shape immense change occurred at a national level. Our focus was closer to home, on the areas in and around Winchester city centre. The magazine is a new venture by national and regional publisher Guy Hanson. He’s a local chap, committed to profiling independent businesses and the people who live and work in our community. I’ve talked to the Mayor of Winchester, Jane Rutter, as she settles into her busy year, investigated volunteer work, tapped into the festival vibe and discovered what our entrepreneurs and plant experts are up to. From festivals and foodie events to family days out and travel ideas, our commitment is to ‘keep it local’ and feature, within these pages, independent lifestyle and business news. Highlighting such adds cohesion to communities. We love to tell a story – it might be yours – and look forward to Winchester Resident going from strength to strength, championing the finest aspects of living in this beautiful area whilst proving itself as an excellent vehicle for promoting and showcasing local businesses, acting as a bridge between them and their customers.
