What a fantastic service Jo runs at Forest Traders. Always offering information and advice on local trades/businesses. Tirelessly promoting and plugging them and organising fun, informal and friendly networking evenings. Jo is a pleasure to deal with and approachable too.

Forest Traders are providing an unrivalled service to businesses & communities in the Forest of Dean. Their range of advertising services are exceptionally affordable, and their website is incredibly easy to use. The whole service is well thought through and is efficient and friendly. Many businesses trying Forest Traders for the first time receive enquiries from prospective customers very quickly, evidence of the fact that the website is doing very well in online searchers, and that Jo knows how to get an ongoing stream of visitors to the website.

M J – Skills To Go

Jo & Andy came to CAP Business Clubs with a big reputation, it didn’t take long to appreciate why. They quickly became highly respected members and we are proud to have them onboard. They understand the value of giving, and their members benefit from their very proactive approach to marketing. I would have no hesitation in recommending Forest Traders to anyone serious about growing their business.

I found Forest Traders by accident on Twitter, after I had tweeted on a Saturday night about an unwelcome flood in my bathroom. Forest Traders immediately recommended a local plumber, who was able to come out and sort the problem really quickly and at a fair price. It’s tough to find good tradesmen and I didn’t even have to look! Now if I need any kind of service in the Forest of Dean I always go straight to Forest Traders, and even if it doesn’t feature on their website, contact them and they will still find a recommendation for you. Brilliant service.

I have used Forest Traders for personal and Business use and have found it fantastic for both. Jo offers a brilliant service and cannot do enough to help. Her hard work and dedication really shows and the result is a well run, easy to use, resourceful website with all the local news, events, Businesses and special offers. It is just what The Forest of Dean needs. Thank you.

M – Little Pickles Markets

I Tweeted Forest Traders late on a Friday afternoon looking for a joiner as the one we had fell through. I was just expecting a retweet, but was contacted by email immediately. By Saturday they had put me in touch with someone and they will be laying our floor for us, shortly. An entirely unexpected and totally brilliant service. I’ll definitely be using them again – and telling people about them too.

As a new business starting in the Forest I was delighted to find Forest Traders as a platform to advertise myself. Jo is very easy to deal with and highly attentive to detail.Any tweaks I wanted to my advert always promptly dealt with and new testimonials quickly updated. Jo does a huge amount of work behind the scenes to promote the businesses within Forest Traders and the price of advertising could not be more reasonable, in fact the advert has more than paid for itself in the short time I have been with them.
