Dear reader,

Regular readers will know we usually run a single story on a Thursday, with the full editions being published on Monday and Friday - the latter often paywalled to help pay for what we do.

Today that single story is about a firm planning to relocate its entire business lock, stock and barrel to Gloucestershire, potentially creating scores of new jobs in the county.

We’ve done some relationship building with the business ourselves, and hope to bring you some more news with more detail soon - but we are able to run the words below because of our relationship with the BBC, which has made us the only independent news website in Gloucestershire to be able to use its local democracy reporter, Carmelo Garcia.

If you like stories about investment in Gloucestershire, about growth, about regeneration (and are interested in news from outside of Gloucester and Cheltenham too!) this should put a smile on your face.

Enjoy.

Best regards,

Andrew Merrell (editor).
