Louth Town Centre
THE Louth Town Centre Partnership is writing to all businesses in the town with a free invitation to join its Business Group. The Partnership needs to be able to communicate with all the businesses in order to be able to represent their interests in the town.

One of East Lindsey District Council’s measures of success of the new Town Centre Manager and Louth Partnership is that the businesses are achieving higher turnover in a business climate that cultivates success.

Business Group Board Member, Andrew Leonard, explained: "The new Partnership enables us to offer this opportunity freely and we aim to build a close business community which can share best practice."

Mr Leonard, added: "Businesses working together will always achieve greater success and I look forward to working with all aspects of Louth's businesses.”

Also representing the interests of business in the Partnership are David Sandwith of Eve and Ranshaw and Bob Carr with Jo Topley of D S Smith Packaging.

Louth Town Centre Manager, Mark Barnes, who is employed by the District Council, said "The Partnership will offer a focal point not only for businesses but also consumers. By offering co-ordination for the businesses all across the town, everyone will benefit. I am very excited about this invite and I am certain that we will be able to deliver real results.”

  • Regular meetings
