Nick, who has been featured in the Financial Times as an FT entrepreneur, says:
“I love living in Wokingham and with its community feel, countryside and array of small businesses. Running a digital marketing business I can see how small businesses struggle to maintain an online presence, My Wokingham is a free place for them to own a page where potential clients can find them. We also want to help local charities make a bigger impact when they need to publicise events.”
