LoveBridgnorth

Welcome to Love Bridgnorth which was launched in 2015 and aims to highlight all that we love � about our home town. I’m a local mum and businesswoman with a Bridgnorth based company, Good2Great, which I have run with my husband for 14 years. Having worked on a Pride in Your High Street project with the local authority, I could see the impact of positivity about a place on social media, so set out

to always put our lovely town in a good light and to reach out and connect with our community.

�Love Bridgnorth ‘celebrates and cherishes’ Bridgnorth and hopes to foster and invoke civic pride - whilst at the same time informing people of good news and local events. On the journey was the entry in 2016 into the great British High Street competition joining forces with Buy Big in Bridgnorth. Together we put Bridgnorth firmly on the map as a winning entry in the Large Market Town category – a unique place with good kind warm hearted people, stunning scenery and a wide range of fabulous shops, eating and watering holes

Having raised three children here I believe it has the perfect balance of town and country living; good schools, great sports clubs and is well respected in the arts even with its own Theatre � tucked into the hillside. Steeped in history and a beautiful physical setting contribute to the reasons I love Bridgnorth - along with 18,000 others across a LoveBridgnorth Facebook Twitter and Instagram accounts. I didn’t grow up here – I’m a Home Counties girl and like many who have discovered Bridgnorth and chosen to make this amazing place their home, we feel our gratitude and sense of place deeply. I have lived here since 1992 and been involved in the local community; as editor of local magazine ‘What’s What!’, serving as a school governor of Bridgnorth Endowed, and as chair of the PTA of St Johns and first female chair of Northgate Swimming Club. I am a director of Bridgnorth Rugby Club and served as a local magistrate for over 22 years. There is now a small team of Love Bridgnorth admins whom I’m really indebted to : Tamsin Preece, Lesley Dagnall, Nerys Arch, Wendy Smallman, Dan Bradley, Lindsay Crussell, Petra Walsh, Rita Bains, Jen Ridley-Towns and Peter Rockett. We are in the process of registering as a community interest company with Tamsin Preece, Chris Aked and John Adams as trustees. I’m most grateful to be supported by local businesses Nock Deighton, the Travelwallet and Perry and Phillips who help with website hosting, printing etc. Thank you for supporting and reading.
