What Our Advertisers Say…
“ARC-Landscaping was founded in 2019, based in the Bath. In 2022 the company moved its centre of operations to the Chilterns. We obviously wanted to re-establish ourselves as quickly as possible but after the move we also obviously had to make sure our money was well spent. We found that “The Local Directories” provided access to the key areas in which we wanted to work, allowing us to focus our marketing budget where it would be most effective. We used their services for the printing and distribution of leaflets. We also placed a regular small ad in the most appropriate directory. 12 months later we are pleased to be able to say we have achieved our initial objectives. ARC-Landscaping is established as a competitive provider of landscaping services in the Chilterns area. We have built a good pipeline of future customers and a reputation for customer service and quality implementation. We believe “The Local Directory” has played a real part in that success story.”
“Just a word of thanks for your support in helping us create the half page Tutor Doctor feature in The Local Directory. Although it only appeared last week, we have already had several enquiries. Our objective in taking a larger space was to create more impact, and by expanding the simple advert format previously used we have been able to do so, but it is encouraging to have received an immediate and positive response. Thank you for your help in making this possible, and fingers crossed for more of the same.”
“Dear Magazine Editor, Many thanks for the local news update and we are planning to visit West Wycombe Park! Thank you once again for all your work in researching, reporting, writing, printing and delivering the news to residents like myself.”
“Just a thank you to say that advertising in your magazine was really successful and many who came to our quilting exhibition said they saw it in your magazine. Thank you so much.”
“Since May 2015 our Club’s advert has been inserted on your Community Board pages. Over the intervening years that advert has proved to be very successful & our membership has escalated to a point where we are now “full”. So, for the time being can I please ask that the advert be withdrawn, at a time that most suits yourselves. We are most grateful for your help & for continuing to insert our advert in your superb magazine; it certainly brought the name of our Club to the fore locally.”
“We have been advertising with Local Directory since 2015, in a mixture of different editions. They have proved to be very effective for us in reaching out to our customers”
“We have been using the Local Directory to advertise our shop in Aylesbury since 2012. We have placed full and half page adverts, in all areas, and find we get a good response. The staff at the Local Directory are easy to deal with and we will continue to use their services.”
“I have been pleasantly surprised by the response I have received by advertising in the Local Directory for the last few months. I was slightly dubious at first but I have had, on average, a couple of good enquiries each week and as a result of this have decided not only to continue my advertising for longer than I had anticipated, but have also put my advertisement into more magazines. To anyone who is unsure I would say give it a go!!”
The day after we received the August copy of the Kings Langley local directory my wife and I set out on the walk you featured on page 6: Walks in the Chilterns- Bourne End & Spade Oak Lake. We had a lovely walk; it was the first time we’d been to that area and it was all because you’d featured it in your publication! Thank you. Nigel Local Resident
“Nisha and Local Directory were really helpful, providing some prime space for us in many of their magazines. The event was a great success.”
“I just wanted to say thank you for such a lovely magazine, it’s so personal, I read your page regularly from the editor, and even took the last issue on holiday to Dubai to read on the plane. The last few issues I have been reading on the train, whilst having a coffee, in the garden or even whilst on the loo. My friend from Kensington is envious as they do not have such magazines to read. I will keep my copies and look forward to reading and learning so much more. You clearly put a lot of work and effort to do all this for the public, and this should be applauded by one. All the research on local information. Keep up the good work!”
“What a lovely article on walks in the Chilterns! Just shows how much the Chilterns has to offer”
“Thanks for amending the Hearing Aid Clinic advert in Kings Langley and Villages copy of local directory. We helped 40 patients yesterday from various areas including Northwood, Berkhamsted, Chipperfield, Kings Langley, Pitstone and Tring of which many say it is due to reading the advert. As I’ve mentioned before some keep it in the hearing aid boxes.
Together we work as a great team helping people.”
“Excellent and friendly service, have used for both leaflet distribution and an advert to which both we were happy with.”
“The Local Directory are our first advertising choice. We always notice a substantial increase in business from which ever area we advertise in. It really does make a big difference. I can tell which issues we are in month by month as new clients ALWAYS come in thick and fast from which ever area directory we are in. It’s an inexpensive way to keep your company name in front of thousands of local people. It definitely works for us”
“Fantastic publication that really does give results, would advise any company to advertise with them, glad I found them”
“I advertise in the Local Directory as its most convenient, reliable and reaches out to a wide spectrum of people, and it is much better than most other advertising companies in the area.”
“I worked delivering Local Directory magazines for over a year. It was an incredibly rewarding experience to raise the money for my upcoming Sweden expedition. The work also kept me fit and led me to discovering many side roads in my neighbourhood that I never would have visited before. AI leave for my expedition very shortly where I will meet the indigenous Sami people and canoe through the beautiful wilderness! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to work at the Local Directory; it has been great.”
“Since we started advertising with The Local Directory in 2006, I have not had the chance to express my gratitude for the hard work and efforts that you and your team have put in to helping us gain a great clientele and become one of the region’s most well-known building companies. We believe that advertising with you has not only gained Ultimate Construction recognition within our surrounding towns, but has also given the community who receive the magazine a sense of confidence that Ultimate Construction is a company here to stay!”
“Home Counties Cladding have been advertising with the Local Directory for a number of years and have found that we have generated a lot of business through their advertising. A professional company who always go the extra mile to work with you to achieve the results. I would recommend any company to use their services.”
“I can honestly say that Bucks Foot Clinic has seen huge business growth in the 5 years since we began advertising with The Local Directory. Every month we receive fresh new enquiries and these enquiries become appointments with satisfied customers coming back to us again and again for repeat appointments. And this cycle is repeated every six weeks! Our monthly advertising costs have been worth every penny; we’ve seen a great return on investment. We thoroughly recommend Local Directory magazines”
“Raj and Nisha at Local Directory are a great team we look forward to working with in 2018. They offer advice where appropriate and know who their audience is and what they want to see. Thank you both for your time and expertise.”
“Blueberry Gardening Service has benefitted greatly from advertising with The Local Directory since 2011. The have always been very helpful and with their advice we now regularly advertise in both the Amersham and Chesham editions. As a new business Blueberry Gardening Service needed the exposure that the Directory provides and it has proven to be our most successful form of advertising.”
“Just to let you know that as a direct result of the CAP Money Course advert you are displaying in the Local Directory for us, a number of people are now in the process of signing up for the next course. As you probably know, the purpose of these free courses is to help people to budget better, and therefore to stay clear of getting into debt. So THANKS very much for generously displaying the advert.”
“As a local business, I cannot recommend Local Directory Ltd highly enough. I have seen my Slimming World business go from strength to strength with regluar advertising. Thank you.”
“As a volunteer for Hertfordshire Hearing Advisory Service at the monthly clinic in Bovingdon I would like to thank you very much for the free advert in Kings Langley and Villages copy of the Local Directory. It is much appreciated by those in need of knowing where to go have their NHS hearing aids serviced. Yesterday we had 30 clients in one and a half hours. It is rewarding to know that the advert is read and followed through. Some keep the advert in the box provided with the aid”
I must mention the excellent young man who has just been delivering the Gerrards Cross & Farnhams Local Directory. I live at XXX and I’ve watched him from my kitchen window. The young man was careful to make sure he closed the gates after delivering. He also made sure that the letter box flaps were closed after posting the magazine. If you find out who the Ideal Delivery Lad is, please make sure he is praised for being such a great employee. Thank you.

“I cannot recommend Raj enough to anyone wanting to grow their business. He is a shrewd businessman, very personable and a great motivator. His business acumen is shared with infectious warmth and passion. I want to thank him for all your help over the years with our magazines, which has been invaluable. What he offers is fantastic and so many benefit from his expertise and motivation.”
“I just wanted to say a huge thank you again for everything that you have both done to produce such a great-looking, professional, glossy brochure again this year. The contribution that this makes to the our Christmas Fayre is huge. I am sure that Kim and I will be very proud to give them our next week, and I am sure too that our advertisers will be delighted with the quality of their adverts. This year we have exceeded last year’s advertising revenue – so our profit has been given a fantastic initial boost! You have again been so generous with your time and resources: we really do appreciate it.”
“Thank you so very much for placing our “Positive Movement – Gentle Chair-based Exercise Classes for Older Adults” in the Tring Directory in the February Magazine (copy attached). Until yesterday I didn’t know that the Tring and Berkhamsted Local Directories (copies attached) are linked together and you are in charge of both of them. Congratulations for doing such a great job! Your monthly magazines are full of very useful, helpful information and always look very professional.”
“You’ve been very good with what you’ve done for us, a great help. Three new people responded to the advert, as well as a new volunteer from Holmer Green!” – Mary (Local Charity)

“I’ve been advertising with The Local Directory since 2008 in several different areas in Bucks and have always found them to be very competitive with there pricing, very very easy to talk to and they go all out to help you with any problems you may have. All in all they are in my eyes the best place to advertise in the area hence the 5 Star Rating”
“Highly Recommend Local directory for any business. Great magazines with excellent coverage and results. Nisha and all the team are very friendly and helpful.”
“I found the Local Directory for Berkhamsted to be an extremely effective way of advertising my photographic services. Within the first week of the ad appearing I had two new bookings directly from the ad, which meant it has already more than paid for itself.”
“Being a Chesham resident, I was delighted to receive my Back to School issue. It was lovely to see what local schools have on offer. Having children myself, it was a delight to see both my children’s schools having their presence in this issue. It is nice to see local content which is rather impressive and shows a lot of effort has gone to present this particular issue.”

“Hello Raj and Nisha
I am finally coming up for air after the festive fair on Saturday.
We had a fantastic day and I wanted to let you know that with your very kind support, along with other fundraising stalls on the day and the main raffle, we raised over £10,000 for the school.
As you know, I organised most of it single handedly so every penny was hard earned and I can’t tell you what a huge boost your sponsorship did for my morale. Thank you both so much.”
“Great team, Great service ! Highly recommend Local Directory, they are a joy to work with and a very professional service.”
