The Best of The Forest of Dean continues to support my business and brings me numerous inquiries for flowers. Some of the best advertising available, I's so glad I joined. Lyn Hodgkinson Rustic Romance Florists
Since I have joined The Best Of, Martin has put me into contact with some excellent businesses, a couple of which I have the pleasure of now calling my friends. Without Martin and The Best Of I would not have had the opportunity to meet such fantastic people and their businesses. The support that you get from joining The Best Of is incredible, not only from other members but also from Martin himself. The Best Of website constantly brings in work and on a few occasions it has drawn the attention of international customers moving back to the UK and wanting work doing on their return. All in all I'd like to thank Martin for all the hard work and commitment he puts in running his business and looking after his business members.
Since joining the Best Of the Forest of Dean I had 5 new customers within the first month with I'm sure more to follow, I have been to my first Best Of Evening Event which I really enjoyed, I have already received an award as 'Outstanding Newcomer' which I'm very proud of from all the fantastic reviews I've received from my customers.
We attended a Best Of Networking Evening and I would like to say how impressed I was with Martin's professional attitude. Thank You
To be part of the Best Of the Forest of Dean is not just being part of an Advertising and Promotional Group, but being part of a supportive organisation as well, All down to the hard work of Martin
Thank you Martin yet another event. Well organised and great surroundings.

When I changed my trading name, Martin managed the change on The Best Of The Forest Of Dean perfectly. The events which Martin organises for members & visitors are very good & are a perfect opportunity to meet perspective new contacts & catch up with old ones. Keep up the great work Martin!
I've been going to thebestof events for quite a few years, but I must compliment you on your meeting this week at Cinderford Rugby Club. It was by far the best event I have attended. So many new faces; a real buzz in the air; and a well run and presented evening. Particularly pleasing was the fact I came away with 3 new enquires for my business.
I have been with the Best of The Forest of Dean for several years now and have always found it to be a professionally run site. My business has benefitted in many ways from its association with the site and I would recommend anyone thinking of joining to join. The regular meetings of members are very enjoyable and are not only good networking events but keep me in touch with other businessess in the area which I would not normally come in contact with. May I wish Martin continuing success with Best of in the Forest of Dean
I have been on the best of Forest of Dean for a couple of years, there is always a steady flow of enquiries. I particularly like the testimonial feature which gives potential customers a good idea of the level of service to be expected & therefore make their own choice of the best business for them to use. Martin Firman provides excellent support to all of the best of Forest of Dean member businesses with great help & advice.
Thank You Martin. This mornings meeting in particular was most helpful. Everything we discussed seemed so achievable just the sort of encouragement needed to get business sprinting away! I highly recommend the bestof, Martin makes the whole process from joining the group through to marketing help so easy. Thank you so much
Over the Christmas/New Year period I received a growing number of International Orders for my floristry business (Rustic Romance) all thanks to my presence on The Best of Forest of Dean and the Google ratings that go alongside it.
The Best of Forest of Dean has an ever increasing impact on the amount of business I receive. In addition to this Martin is always on hand with help and advice, he is very approachable and professional in his manner and I enjoy working with him.
Starting a new business is always difficult, and getting it noticed is even harder. The best of the Forest of Dean have provided us with an excellent platform to promote our business locally and further afield with the excellent web optimization the site has...we got a lead from the Cotswolds and Bristol recently from people finding our advert through natural search listings. We are very impressed with the overall service from Sharon & Paul and would highly recommend the business - Pengelly Estate & Equestrian Services.
"The bestofforestofdean is a brilliant way to advertise your business locally. It offers both support and opportunities that may not otherwise be available.
We have been with Paul & Sharon for more than two years & cannot recommend them enough for their caring service. Its a pleasure to be included on your site.
Kays Web Page Design is proud to be apart of The Best of The Forest of Dean....! Paul James has been very helpful with getting my company established and I thank him very much. The whole process was easy and I would recommend joining.

I have been with the Best Of now for about 4 months and they have been so helpful with getting my company recognized in the Forest of Dean. It is always scary when starting a new business but Paul is very helpful and knows a lot of people to get you started. The latest event evening was a real success and I really enjoyed interacting with other people at ease.

Thanks for all your help and support so far. Kays Web Page Design. June 09.
What great events you organize! Your recent evening 'get together' at the Miners Arms was a roaring success for me. Not only did I have a most enjoyable time, but came away with two really positive enquiries for my printing services - as well as meeting a whole host of new contacts. In addition, I must mention that because of my 'Bestof' membership, my website is always on the front page of Google.
