I was invited to attend Newbury Weekly News launch of their new local business website at 8 a.m. on Monday 28 April in their News Hall. I arrived a few minutes after 8 a.m. to find that I was not the first to arrive. A very cheerful group of their lady staff were there to greet me and give me a name tag and one took me through into the News Hall where I met the Managing Director, Adrian Martin. He in turn introduced me to Clive Young and the deputy news editor Simon Lyle. Amongst the other guests was the Member of Parliament, Richard Benyon who seemed to be invited to every event I go to so I have to admire his stamina as he spends most of his time in the House of Commons and is a regular user of First Great Western Railway.
Adrian Martin and subsequently the Group Chairman, Jeremy Willis gave a speech on the purpose of the new website which was to feature local business news and to give information on new business ventures locally. No doubt large companies such as Bayer and Vodafone will be included but also smaller businesses will also feature.
As a matter of interest, when I returned home, I did use my newly acquired computer skills and was able to log onto the website without difficulty and I found it very interesting. I am sure it will be a great success.
