After seven years of producing a very popular magazine for Felixstowe in Suffolk and its surrounding areas, and also having been told by many people that we ought to produce a similar high quality FREE magazine for Stowmarket, here it is!

March 1 2011 saw the launch of this new local publication, which we hope will receive the same reaction as the one now well established in Felixstowe. Such was the confidence shown, not only by advertisers known to us, but also by those who had strongly suggested "isn’t it about time you produced a similar magazine in your own town?", we have decided to do just that!

A great deal of hard work and head scratching has gone into the production of the first issue. The combined efforts of "The Spotlight Team" has resulted in something we are all proud of. Thank you Lisa, Alex, Mike, Christine, Peter, and my brother Roger, for making it all so much less stressful. And finally a huge thanks to Rose whose understanding, patience and encouragement was so important.

Finally, to all those who have had faith and confidence in this new venture, thank you all. We look forward to not only helping you advertise your business, but also to support local events, charities and other causes that will benefit by what we provide.
