New Morecambe-based podcast puts the focus on local business

The Consult Centre Podcast has been launched by Ruth Wilkinson from Morecambe to put the spotlight on local business.

The new podcast has already featured many prominent local business owners who have been revealing the secrets behind their success.

They include brewery boss Matt Jackson from Lancaster Brewery, financial advisers Tarnia Elsworth and Annabel Lumsden from TP Financial Solutions in Heysham, Alex Dickson from Morecambe Bay Tours, web designer Ben Yates from BY Design, Nicola Combe from Morecambe Bay Wills & Estates, Jacob Hughes from Zebra Electrical in Yealand Conyers and Lancaster fitness instructor Sally Wilkinson.

Ruth runs digital marketing firm The Consult Centre in Morecambe and is also the acting chair of Morecambe Business Improvement District (BID).

She decided to launch the podcast because "there wasn't really a locally focussed podcast on local businesses".

Ruth said: "There are some businesses doing some amazing things, not just in their business, but for the wider community. And they don't often get the opportunity to tell their stories.

"The great thing about a podcast is that it's a way of connecting to people on lots of different levels, and the consumer can listen in at a time that's convenient for them.

"It's also about people who have seen it and done it, sharing their experiences in their business, to help others.

"And there's always a highlight, in every conversation."

Ruth is looking for more guests to share their stories on the podcast.
