The distribution of <strong>Business</strong> <strong>Action</strong><br />
takes editor Robert Zarywacz walking<br />
through many North Devon towns and<br />
villages and he believes it’s the only way to really get to know and<br />
appreciate any place. Every quarter, he visits 1,250+ independent<br />
town centre shops, hospitality and service businesses, which<br />
combine to create a remarkable retail and visitor offering largely<br />
unappreciated both by residents and those living elsewhere in the UK.<br />
ILFRACOMBE<br />
Open all year round<br />
<strong>Business</strong> <strong>Action</strong> seeks to remedy this.<br />
In our summer issue we featured<br />
Bideford businesses. This issue we<br />
focus on Ilfracombe. In our next issue we aim to cover Torrington with<br />
more towns featured in 2024. Reading about these valuable<br />
businesses is not enough – we must buy from them. Many businesses<br />
in our towns are open throughout the winter and offer great service<br />
and experiences. Do get in touch if you want your business featured<br />
