Testimonials
Don't take our word for it, this is what some of or Site Editors have to say about how AboutMyArea has made a difference to their lives and communities.
"Having always worked full time whilst living in Lichfield it wasn't until I was on maternity leave that I realised actually how much was going on in my own community that I never knew about. When I heard of AboutMyArea I thought it was a perfect way of letting the local community know about everything that is going on and it has proved to be a great way of working locally, providing a great service to local residents and local businesses and has meant that I can fit work flexibly around family life." Rebecca Gough - Site Editor WS13 & WS14
"Running an AMA site has given us the freedom to control our work/life balance. Not only has it fast-tracked our knowledge on how to run a business, but it has also made us valued members of our community. Being an AMA franchisee means so much more than running a website - we've been able to play a large part in community projects and gain wide recognition amongst local residents and businesses. Its nice to be able to walk down our local high street and see so many familiar, friendly faces!" Lauretta Wright - Site Editor BR5
"I really enjoy having my own business and working from home - it gives me total flexibility - it's great fun and I enjoy meeting new people everyday - It gives you a sense of the old community spirit, which is so vital in today's busy lifestyle" David Robertson - Site Editor SK7
"With a three year old daughter and baby twin sons, and redundancy looming, my thoughts turned to what I could do that would enable me to spend maximum quality time with my family, whilst still generating an income. Having heard about AboutMyArea a few months previously, I decided to investigate further. That was seven months ago and I'm now a fully-fledged AboutMyArea Site Editor!
Having the support of a Head Office means that I can get out and about, meeting people, attending events and generally promoting the websites. During my time with AboutMyArea I've met some amazing people within the local community and, best of all, I get to spend more quality time with the children than I would if I were stuck in an office from 9 'til 5."
