If you are thinking of advertising on social media to generate business, then our expert Simon Clark had some salient advice. With 3.8 billion people using social media worldwide, it is a great way to drive business to your websites and increase sales. Facebook, he said, has now taken over You Tube in the rankings of most users, with Twitter coming in 17th. Where is YOUR audience he asked. Most 25 plus people are on Facebook and Linked In, with Instagram being preferred by 18 to 23 year olds. With 190,000 people in and around St Ives using Facebook, he advised businesses to use the Facebooks Ads App.

Kevin and his team have vast experience in every aspect of groundworks, from dropped kerbs and paving to gravel parking and fencing. In St Ives they work with the Town Team and the local council assisting with signage, roundabouts, sculptures and streetworks. They are Highways Approved and Streetworks Certified, fully insured and council approved.
