Gloucester: The inside story of a city's regeneration

While some will know the headlines of the last few years telling the tale of Gloucester's regeneration, until now no one has told the inside story of how the city came from nowhere to where it's at.

Dear reader,

We hope you had a great weekend. Welcome to the first edition of The Raikes Journal of the week.  

As we signed off on Friday we unlocked what would have been a members’ only edition to reveal our latest Founding Partner, Willans LLP. 

The article was a big interview with Bridget Redmond, managing partner of Cheltenham headquartered solicitors, which has backed us to make possible this community interest company dedicated to supporting businesses, charities and education and training providers. 

We cannot thank the firm enough. 

For an annual fee amounting to £2.30 a week you took will be able to see beyond the paywalls that go onto all our stories after two weeks, and often sit across out Thursday and Friday edition as well as our rolling Top 100 Businesses in Gloucestershire series – which tracks the fortunes of the county’s biggest firms by turnover. Please do think about it. 

We hope you enjoy the edition.

Please do send us your story ideas to andrew.merrell@raikesjournal.co…
