Back in #ChesterleStreet to provide another indie business with some one-to-one marketing support. It's free to that and any other business in town, thanks to the Shop Chester-le-Street project - all we ask in return is that they join Chester-le-Street Business Association for £10 for the year 👍 #CLSIsOpen

By way of reminder, free marketing and mentoring support from me is available to any business in #ChesterleStreet, via the Shop Chester-le-Street project. The only requirement in return is that businesses pay their £10 annual fee to join Chester-le-Street Business Association. shopchesterlestreet.co.uk

Back in #ChesterleStreet for the second evening in a row, this time for the Chester-le-Street Business Association meeting with local businesses.

Richard Shorney Evening #indiehour! Sorry for the late appearance - I have been with local indie businesses in #ChesterleStreet at tonight's Chester-le-Street Business Association meeting. A real-life example of the value of local collaboration and support!

From postbox toppers to colourful windows, it's lovely to see #ChesterleStreet getting in the mood for Easter today! 🐣 #CLSIsOpen

There's a new twist to Chester-le-Street Business Association' shop window trail this summer!

Any business taking the premises will also be able to benefit from free marketing/mentoring support from me, including promotion via the Shop Chester-le-Street social channels, thanks to funding from Durham County Council's #ChesterleStreet Area Action Partnership via Chester-le-Street Business Association 🔥
