HEREFORDSHIRE has an exciting new business magazine.

It has been produced by the team behind the Hereford Times, and its aim is to celebrate enterprise, to champion the organisations that drive the county’s economy, and be a showcase for excellence and achievement.

The 80-page magazine is packed with news, profiles and useful information compiled by professional journalists from the Hereford Times and guest contributors.

It will, initially, be published three times a year and distributed to selected businesses across the county. It is also available free from the Marches Growth Hub at Skylon Park, Rotherwas, Hereford. The next issue is in February 2020.

The first edition has a report about Herefordshire Council’s exciting vision for the county’s infrastructure: how transport, digital connectivity and commercial developments will help foster business growth in the decades ahead.

It also showcases women in business, and tells how six inspirational women have tackled a variety of challenges to become successful role models.

As readers would expect of a magazine produced by the Hereford Times team, news is high on the agenda. The magazine will be covering all the biggest business stories, with an emphasis firmly on the positive.

Other sections are devoted to agri-business, an area of enormous importance to a rural county like Herefordshire. Education/training, also vital to the county's future success, will be covered too, as will issues about the climate and environment.

Finally, there will be regular tips for success and a comprehensive round-up of forthcoming business events.

Managing editor John Wilson said: "We do not read often enough about the important contribution of local businesses to our community. We will put that right with the launch of Hereford Business Times."
