working in the industry “forAfter 21 years Dean felt it was time

to go on his own and opened a home-based business. In 13 years, we increased our clientele to the point of having to move from home and open a larger shop. In that time, we never advertised. In August of 2013 we expanded and moved to the industrial park. Simon approached us to do some advertising. We sat and he explained it all to me and we set a budget for the year, which was a great help as this was something we had never done before. At the end of our meeting we agreed he was the paper guy and we were the mechanics. Simon always contacts me, sends proofs and gets it done right. If he feels

May 30 - June 12, 2014

, you’re not advertising

there is something we will benefit from he is always on top of it. This has definitely expanded our business to the point where we have had to add extra people to our work force. I believe that it is the result of the help of the great staff at the News Leader this has happened. I cannot thank them enough for all the help and hard work. I would also like to congratulate Simon on his promotion, which I feel he has earned tenfold. Our local paper is in great hands. Simon you are awesome! Karen and Dean,
