About Us

The Lynton and Lynmouth Advertiser was first printed using letterpress in 1980 by Bill Pryor at the Guildford Press in Lynton. This tradition continued until the publication of Edition 65 in the year 2000. In 2001, Christine Brett joined the Guildford Press, bringing her expertise to modernize the artwork of this well-established printing business.

 

A significant milestone was reached by Bill and Christine in 2005 when the Advertiser was relaunched with Edition 66, along with its first website. Since 2005 the Advertiser has been published consistently every month, initially printed in Lynton until 2014 when rising costs made this financially unviable, leading to the difficult decision to have it produced elsewhere. Over the years much has changed, but the Advertiser has remained dedicated to its original mission —supporting local businesses, community events, and tourism across this beautiful part of North Devon. Past and present advertisers are featured in our Business Directory at no cost. Click here 

 

A much wider audience is now reached through digital media where every page of the latest edition can be read, downloaded, shared, and printed. A growing number of subscribers also receive the latest issue by email each month. Our rates are both reasonable and competitive, with the facility to change artwork each month at no extra charge.

A new website has been designed to meet the needs of today’s online readers, making it easier to browse and access content from any device. This transition has enabled us to reduce print volumes and conserve resources while still ensuring the Advertiser remains accessible to everyone. None of these advancements would have been possible without the dedication of Andy, our webmaster, who can be found at
www.blue-sky-solutions.es, Carolien, our creative consultant (www.lucidcreative.co.uk), and the loyal support of our advertisers, contributors and readers.
