Hi

It's Christmas month!

Some people think it's been Christmas for weeks and have already got their tree and decorations up! - a bit early for me, but no doubt many more will be scaling the ladder this weekend. No silly accidents please!

Speaking of trees, if you are thinking about buying a real Christmas tree this year, read my blog below where you'll find a few tips to consider to ensure you get a good one.

As you all know by now (yes?), The Bestof has been campaigning to find our national and local 'Business Of The Year' and you have all been voting with your business reviews to help us judge. The campaign will run until the end of January 2017 but for a business to 'qualify', they had to achieve the required number of votes by deadline last night 30th November.

I'm delighted to announce we have 4 local qualifying businesses this year:

Adams & Jones Estate Agents
Roy Hubbard Motors
Barker Fleming Interiors (Kitchens & Bathrooms)
Steve Parks Driving Tuition

Huge congratulations to these four. Some of the comments we've received about these businesses have been absolutely brilliant. I'm sure you will want to support and add your reviews for these popular businesses over the next 2 months so we can announce our overall winner and runners up in the first week of February 2017. To find out how to vote, watch out for my new blog post on the website,

This week, I'm thrilled to inform you that MILLINGTON TRAVEL are coming to our town and are our latest independent business to join The Bestof Market Harborough.

We are delighted to welcome them here and I'll be telling you more about this business next week, but in the meantime look them up here and see why we are so pleased to welcome them to The Best of Market Harborough.
