Local Life magazine launched in the Spring with two publications covering Ashton and surrounding areas and Orrell and district - two tough area in terms of the demographics, geographical spread, not to mention the competition from the ‘big player’ in the market. Well suffice to say with the assistance and production values provided by WN6 Creative coupled with the dogged professionalism from the Local Life 247 team the magazines are going from strength to strength.
