As we look forward to a return to 'normality' after June 21, it is clear times are still so tough for local businesses in Leek and across the country.

So here at Nub News we want to help! We can help your business reach our thousands of readers for free with our local interview series UP CLOSE.

All you have to do is tell us a good business story. How has the lockdown and pandemic affected you. How did you adapt? How might your business and industry be in the future and why?

Are you expanding? Are you moving premises? Are you doing anything new and innovative? Making major progress?

And you don't have to just be a business - if you are a local resident with an interest or story to share we would love to speak to you too.

We are particularly keen to hear from those in the hospitality sector. We have missed you enormously. Pubs, bars, cafes, and restaurants are at the heart of our communities.

Tell us about your re-openings, when is it and what changes you will be making. Have you re-opened already? How has it been? What are your hopes and concerns for the future. Will it ever be the same again?

If you have a story to tell, and would like to be in the next featured interview, please email [email protected] for more details.
