Sarah is an absolute peach to work with and nothing is too much trouble - particularly for busy business owners such as ourselves who often need reminding what they've booked and when! (Sorry Sarah!) This is our 2nd year of advertising our central heating installation services (The Ga Man) and our advert pays for itself month in month out. We are now in the enviable position of not needing to advertise but we continue with a presence in Abbey-link because we believe in the magazine, its real community spirit and the reassurance of local brand awareness as recognition for our customers."{
