We Agent Enquiries publish local papers and Tel: 01704 392353 magazines and occupy two [email protected] fl oors of the same building in Web Support Southport. Recently, it was Tel: 01704 392333 decided that we should move, [email protected] that is to say everyone downstairs went upstairs and Publisher vice versa. Betty Drummond Many people felt this was a useless exercise only designed to make lives impossible, an exercise [email protected] for the sake of it but the truth has been that it has encouraged each department to get rid of Managing Editor clutter accumulated over some years, learn new daily routines, sit next to other departments and Laurent Saletto get on with other team members they only knew from afar.
