Charnwood Borough Council has launched a new campaign to help companies connect with customers after being closed.
The Charnwood inBusiness campaign sees Charnwood Borough Council team up with Fosse 107, Leicestershire Live, Loughborough and Shepshed Echo to offer local companies the chance to take a free advert and let tens of thousands of people know that they are very much open for business.
Cllr Jonathan Morgan, Leader of Charnwood Borough Council, said: “As social distancing restrictions continue to ease, we are keen to support local businesses in any way we can and one key issue for local companies will be about reconnecting with their customers.
“That’s why we are delighted to launch the Charnwood inBusiness campaign.
“While we still must all follow the latest government advice as we continue to tackle the pandemic, it is also important that we get our economy going again and that means letting people know Charnwood is very much in business.
“We will also use the campaign to celebrate the successes of local companies and share their stories as they make their way back to the 'new normal’.
“The Council is committed to leading the recovery of in Charnwood with our communities and partners and build a stronger future, together.”
Mark Foster, Managing Director of Fosse 107, said: "People who listen to Fosse 107 listen to us for longer than any other local radio station. We can't wait to introduce our audience to even more businesses across Charnwood and Loughborough to help them to rebuild."
The Charnwood inBusiness offer of a free advert is only open to businesses based in Charnwood. Businesses can apply online before midnight on June 17 and there is a limit to the number of businesses which can be supported.
