Independent Businesses in Thornton-Cleveleys: Join the Cleveleys Now Directory
Help local people discover your independent business by adding your details to our growing community directory

Do you run an independently owned business in Thornton or Cleveleys? Cleveleys Now would love to help local people discover what you do by inviting you to add your business to our community directory.

 

Our area is full of independent shops, tradespeople, cafés, restaurants, service providers and talented local businesses. They help make our towns distinctive, support local jobs and give residents more choice close to home.

 

Cleveleys Now is here to make finding local businesses easier. The directory gives residents one convenient place to look when they need a product, service or recommendation in the Thornton-Cleveleys area.

 

Why add your business?

 

A directory listing can help introduce your business to people who are actively looking for local services. It also gives you another place to build your online presence alongside your website and social media pages.

 

Whether you are a plumber, hairdresser, retailer, café owner, electrician, gardener, beauty professional or offer a specialist service, we want the directory to reflect the full range of independent businesses in our community.

 

You do not have to be a large company to deserve to be seen. Small independent businesses are an important part of local life, and helping people find them is good for the whole community.

 

Help us build a useful local resource

 

If your business is based in Cleveleys or Thornton, please add your details to the Cleveleys Now directory. Make sure your business name, contact details, services and website or social media links are accurate so potential customers can find out more.

 

If you know another independent business owner in the area, please share this invitation with them too. The more local businesses that take part, the more useful the directory becomes for everyone.

 

Let’s support local, shop local and help our independent businesses get found.

 

Add your business today by visiting Cleveleys Now and looking for the business directory at cleveleysnow.com.

    Shared this with my neighbour who does alterations and sewing from home. Exactly the sort of person who needs a bit more visibility locally.

      That's exactly the kind of local talent we want people to be able to find, someone doing alterations and sewing from home is a perfect fit for the directory, so thank you for passing it on!

    Shared this with my neighbour who runs a small gardening business in Thornton. Exactly the kind of thing she needs to get a bit more visible locally.

      That's exactly the kind of business we'd love to see in the directory, please do encourage her to add her details, as there are plenty of residents in Thornton and Cleveleys looking for reliable local gardeners.

      Linda_FY5That's really thoughtful of you. Gardeners are always in demand round here and half the time people just don't know where to look. Hope she gets some good enquiries from it.

    Good idea but will it actually be kept up to date? These things are great at the start then go quiet after a few months.

      Dave RimmerThat's a fair point. I guess it depends on how much the community actually uses it and keeps submitting businesses. Worth giving it a chance though.

      It's a fair point and one we take seriously, we're committed to keeping the directory a genuinely useful, maintained resource for the Thornton-Cleveleys community rather than letting it fade. If you ever spot anything that needs updating, please do flag it to us!

    Good idea but will it be kept up to date? These things often go quiet after a few months. Hope Cleveleys Now stick with it.

      Mike LaneAuthor· Oct 14, 2:52 PM

      That's a completely fair point, and keeping the directory active and up to date is something we're fully committed to, the more local businesses that join, the more reason there is for residents to keep coming back to it.

      Dave NorcrossThat's always the worry isn't it. But to be fair Cleveleys Now seems pretty active compared to some local sites. Fingers crossed they keep the momentum going.

    Just added my little cake business to the directory, really easy to do. Hopefully it helps a few more local people find me!

      Brilliant, welcome to the directory, and a cake business sounds like just the kind of independent local gem we want people to discover! We hope it brings plenty of new customers your way.

    Just added my nail studio to the directory, really easy to do. Good to have somewhere local people can actually find us without scrolling through Google for ages.

      Mike LaneAuthor· Oct 12, 8:41 PM

      Brilliant, so glad it was straightforward to use, that's just what we hoped for, and your nail studio is a perfect example of the kind of independent business local people genuinely want to find easily.

      TraceyBGood to know it's straightforward to add. I've been putting it off thinking it would be complicated. Might get my husband's decorating business on there this week.
