Welcome to the February edition of Tonbridge local Oracle.

Suite 23, 10 Churchill Square Business Centre, Kings Hill, West Malling, Kent ME19 4YU Jane Accounts/Sales t: 01732 525805 Anna Artwork/Sales t: 01732 525806 info@thelocaloracle.co.uk www.thelocaloracle.co.uk Cut off dates for advertising in the March editions are: • Malling 15th February • Maidstone 20th February • Tonbridge 20th February

Another year has flown by which makes us 14 years old this month!! The business was initially started to help those moving into Kings Hill from outside the area and it has gone from strength to strength with houses popping up, in what must be, one of the busiest parts of the country.

Some of our advertisers have been with us from the start and it has been great to watch them flourish too.

We would like to thank those who have supported us and our advertisers and hope you may continue to use our website which has some of the best local businesses in Kent. All you need to do is go to thelocaloracle.co.uk and input the category you are looking for with your postcode to find the nearest advertiser to you. We encourage our advertisers to ask their customers to send in testimonials if they have done a great job and you will find them on their dedicated page.

We will be increasing our social media presence this year, so please feel free to follow our pages for regular updates and promotions.

All the best to you all and have a great month.
