FOUR Bromsgrove businesses have appeared in the top 15 across the whole of the UK as part of a campaign organized through the BestOf franchise.

14 Bromsgrove businesses earned a winning status in the ‘Most Loved’ campaign, either as one of the best businesses in Bromsgrove, or as the best in the UK, with seven businesses making it into the UKs top 100 and four into the top 15.

Those taking part included AP Morgan, Willowbrook Garden Centre, Wildmoor Oak, Invoco Telecom, iShine Cleaning Services, Spice Valley Balti, Big Splash Communications, Broad Street DIY and Chapters Hair.

The town’s success in the campaign was partly due to the drive of Lyndon Stokes who took over the Best of Bromsgrove franchise a year ago.

He said: “The Bromsgrove franchise was well established but I could see opportunities for improving the level of services for members.

“I find it really rewarding to work with the local community and I am proud of what I have achieved in my first year with regards to increasing exposure for the best businesses in the town.”

40 new local businesses have signed up with Best of Bromsgrove, which offers marketing support and networking events to local businesses, since January 2014 taking the total up to more than 80 members.
