About Us

DSC_5632

We are a small group that contains some very talented people.

We don’t seek an audience by propagating fear. We are unashamedly for the area. We like the cafes, the theatres, the exhibitions, the sport and the people. There is a change occurring on the North Shore, we are seeing a new generation of young, expert and enthusiastic people move in and run the place. And we like it.

mapWe choose our subject matter by what we think will be popular with our audience and what appeals to us. If you think we’re missing something, then tell us.

Our offices are in St Ives although our workforce is distributed around the area.
