Brian Warwick, president of Melksham Seniors is inviting local businesses to also participate in the celebrations by offering their own special service aimed for older clients.
Brian said, “A good example is what both Manchester and Bristol international restaurants have done in past years. They have offered their own older people and those of other nations a range of special meals at affordable prices. The events provided a wonderful opportunity to market their own business in a unique way to new customers.
“Many professional services provided a range of free services, and the business communities came up with many excellent marketing projects aimed directly at this attractive sector of their market.
“It is an opportunity for all our wide range of businesses to demonstrate and participate, to market their own individuality and services to our ageing society in a very friendly way.”
If you are interested in getting involved, it’s not too late, contact Brian on brian.warwick @mac.com
