It seems like only yesterday when I was asked if I would consider working on a new publication – Live Ribble Valley magazine. I accepted and 16 years later it’s been a pleasure to meet so many interesting and inspirational people. There is a fantastic community spirit within the towns and villages across the Ribble Valley and the feedback we get from those who live and work here is consistently positive.

With an enthusiastic team working behind the scenes, each issue of Live Ribble Valley magazine features many and varied editorials. Many of these focus on local businesses, both large and small. We delve into how these businesses enhance the local economy, we meet the people behind them, hear their stories and learn how they enrich the communities in which we live. Many have advertised with us from the outset and continue to do so because the magazine reaches a demographic that fits perfectly with their aims and aspirations.

Additional complementary content also hones in on the people at the heart of the Ribble Valley – we hear their compelling, personal narratives. I have always loved a great story and there’s no shortage of them here. From West End stars to world-beating athletes, we have so many talented people in our midst and meeting them and hearing their amazing stories is an absolute joy!
