A new look for WiltsHour

Jamie TuckOver the last 5 years WiltsHour has grown to be a well-known name around Wiltshire, including our well attended hour Monday nights on Twitter (8pm-9pm – make sure you join us!).

Whilst I, like many, have been working from home I’ve taken some time to update and refresh the WiltsHour website. I’ve listened to your suggestions to improve the website and hope you’ll like this new look; a more modern design and easier than ever to add your business listing for others all around Wiltshire to find you.

I’ve included a Wiltshire News section where businesses and customers alike can read about your fantastic products, services and latest offerings. An Events page will be coming soon, where you can share all your events in and around Wiltshire making it easier to find activities to keep the whole family entertained.

I’ll be using our social media channels a lot more to promote you, and sending email newsletters to everyone listed on the website and in our ever-growing mailing list of WiltsHour fans – all you need to do is sign up and send me details of things you’d like to promote.

Please support the WiltsHour either on Monday nights 8pm – 9pm or by sharing this email with other local Wiltshire businesses that want to get their name out there. I really do appreciate your contributions over the last 5 years and hope to keep the WiltsHour running for many years to come.

Welcome to the first WiltsHour Newsletter!

A bit more Brunel … Visit the Museum of the Great Western Railway

STEAM – Museum of the Great Western Railway is housed in a beautifully restored Grade II railway building in the heart of the former Swindon railway works.

Situated right opposite the Swindon Designer Outlet, the museum tells the story of the men and women who built, operated and travelled on the Great Western Railway, often referred to by historians and railway fans as ‘God’s Wonderful Railway’.

The pioneering vision and engineering genius of Isambard Kingdom Brunel led to the Great Western Railway network becoming regarded as the most advanced in the world.
