Founder, Debbie Heron

“When we moved to Hinckley in 2004, we didn’t know anyone locally and we certainly didn’t know any businesses. In 2009 I decided the time had come to work for myself. Remembering that I did not know any local trades when we had first moved to Hinckley, I spotted an opportunity. I had seen local community style magazines in Hertfordshire where I had previously lived. Despite having no printing or advertising experience, I nonetheless had a firm belief in myself that I could produce a local magazine focused on customer service.

I wanted to offer something more than those advertising companies that simply sell and move on, never speaking with the same person again. I believe passionately in providing excellent customer service. In September 2009, I began seeking businesses willing to advertise. Despite a few knock backs or being asked to come back when I was more established, I quickly succeeded in getting some new customers. In November 2009, I proudly launched the first issue and Roundabout Hinckley was born.

I am passionate about promoting local businesses and I am proud of the quality magazines we produce that showcase our customers’ businesses. An absolute bonus for me is that many of our advertisers have become good friends. I am also delighted to have been a finalist in several local business awards and was thrilled to win the Leicester Mercury Women in Business Awards Sole Trader 2018.”
