Sally Hurst, of The Old Bag Company, writes:

While reading my copy of the Gazette this week, I was drawn to the Rear View Mirror article 'Glad rags and handbags'...and having seen in the first paragraph that the article was about my company, I eagerly read on.

The Old Bag Company has been lucky enough to win many awards during its six years of trading, with many of these achievements being featured in the Gazette.

Having our latest achievement recognised with such praise for my entrepreneurial skills and the success of this local company means a great deal to me.

I am very proud of this growing brand and much of the success of the business has been down to the support of the Gazette and the local people who have supported The Old Bag Company from the beginning. I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to you all.
