Great success stories

We placed a full page advert in the Devonshire magazine which generated over £3000 of sales to our Leisure Club. It was a very definite success and I can only say that the advice I was given on the layout and the design was very helpful and proved to be particularly effective. Thank you to Nigel and the Team and I love the East Devon Hub too!
