Love Independent Life - they are totally tuned into what’s happening and where, regarding small independent businesses. A big thumbs up from all of us at Bluebird Bakery.

Throughout an exceptionally difficult time for people both personally and professionally, Independent Life have gone above and beyond to support businesses in and around York and out to the coast with their excellent Local Survival Guide and frequent updates. Always enthusiastic and positive, they've sought out and celebrated every kind of business, showing kindness and compassion.

Independent Life is the most amazing channel supporting local independent businesses. The thing which makes them stand out is their unique brand, look and tone. They successfully appeal to different customers and followers, more so than many of the regular listings and publications. They represent my brand really well and are such a great advocate for me in developing a wider customer base and business presence. The Best.

The guys at Independent Life know all about shopping local because they visit the businesses they work with and develop genuine relationships with them. They are all about supporting the businesses who support them in the same way those businesses support their customers. Working together is key and they and we know that together we will keep our High Streets vibrant and our customers coming back for more.
