Hi everyone!

The blogging begins!

My name is Ann Maree and I hope to meet as many of you as possible in the course of all that goes on in the business and public life of Beaconsfield. I'm here because I believe that Beaconsfield is a beautiful place to live and it is a community worth supporting. I hope to encourage many of you to take a good look at all the hidden gems in Beaconsfield and foster good community links for the benefit of both public and business members. Please do join as a public member and communicate your views about your town and the businesses, events and charities that matter to you and that are local to you. It is free to join and only takes a minute. We never share any of your data with third parties and we want to offer you the chance to take part in a special project, bring out the best in Beaconsfield!

This site is a showcase for all the best trusted and respected local businesses in and around Beaconsfield. It is a forum for the whole community to have their say in the form of testimonials about local businesses they have used and were delighted with. You can even recommend businesses you think deserve to be on here!

Please take advantage of the fact that you can add events happening in and around Beaconsfield that you would love to bring attention to. Do you think people would enjoy attending them? Let them know they are going on! Just make sure all details are correct for events and please be aware they must be genuine events not advertisements. All events will be moderated and checked for validity.

Speak up and let me know about the things you love about Beaconsfield and the things you care about locally.

I am so looking forward to hearing from as many of you as possible and hope to provide a really great local hub as a positively helpful resource for the friendly community of Beaconsfield!

Don't forget to check www.thebestof.co.uk/beaconsfield  as a first port of call for any type of business you might require. You will then be able to check out the opinions of other local people, just like yourself, who have already used them. This way you will soon get to know about the best businesses that are right on your doorstep who care about you enough to give a lot better than average care to you their customers!

I would encourage you to buy locally to keep your local marketplace vibrant and flourishing as if you don't use it, you lose it!

In Beaconsfield at the moment you are so fortunate there are so many excellent businesses in your local area; you have no need to look further afield for anything you might need. Sadly this is not the case in some other areas in the UK at the moment and here at thebestof we want to do all we can to encourage communities with hearts to keep them beating! We want to help them grow strong! But we can't do it without you, the local population, being willing to participate and take up the challenge to check first if what you want or need is available locally before deciding to look further afield.

If you find a good local business come on to www.thebestof.co.uk/beaconsfield and tell us who they are! Recommend them and when we showcase them give them a testimonial so other local people can see how good they are.

For our part, we at thebestof, will always go on local recommendation when we showcase a local business and proclaim it to be worthy of your attention. We will listen attentitively to your views, comments and recommendations and we will be delighted to chat with you on the blogspot whenever you have time to write us a line or two.

I'm looking forward to spending some time both on and offline with as many of you as possible and watching your local area around Beaconsfield flourish!
