What makes these directories different?
As well as local business advertising, much time is spent sourcing community information and getting involved with community groups and activities in order to provide more detailed information on what each community has to offer its residents. Readers are often commenting on how useful they find the directory because of the inclusion of the community content and many keep hold of their directories until the next one comes along so it has longevity.

Subscribe to the directory
Due to demand from residents who are not on the distribution routes, a subscription service is now available. In order to receive a copy of your local directory each month, please send a cheque made payable to - ‘The Edenbridge Directory’ for The Edenbridge Directory subscriptions and ‘The Crowborough Directory’ for The Crowborough Directory subscriptions - for £6 which will provide you with a 6 issue subscription. Please state clearly the magazine start issue. Cheques should be posted to: PO Box 142, Edenbridge, TN8 9AQ. If you would like to receive both magazines, please call Laura on 01732 864 878.

About the Publisher
Before launching the first of her local directories, Laura Mendes worked in the area of marketing and communications in and around the City of London for over 12 years. Prior to working in marketing Laura has also enjoyed employment in the TV and music industries but says of her current role as publisher and editor of the directories - “No job has given me as much enjoyment and satisfaction as producing these magazines. I have met so many interesting and inspirational people since I started and being able to actually see the difference that these magazines have made to the communities is extremely rewarding.”

She also started the Edenbridge Homeworkers Group via the community page in The Edenbridge Directory. The group consists of people who have businesses they run from home and everyone takes it in turns to organise the next lunch. “We all have fun and it means we get out of the house for lunch which is good as not only it is a welcome break to us all, we are also supporting the local eating establishments at the same time.
