Thanks to Thomson Directories, people working in the public sector now have a speedier, smarter way to locate the businesses and services they need with ThomsonLocal.com. This is a free-to-use online directory that provides a range of information on almost 2 million businesses across the UK .

ThomsonLocal.com is easy to navigate and has been specifically designed to speed up the search process with many of the businesses listed having links to their own websites. Click on to ThomsonLocal.com and you can search by business type, name and location. To make the process even speedier, all companies listed are offered a free email facility allowing you to contact them by email, if the business has taken advantage of this service.

Searching for the most convenient hotel for your conference, training seminar or visitor delegation, is less time consuming as you can tailor the search to location and view their advert details to make an informed decision. And there is a great NEW ‘Restaurant Finder' which can help you choose from hundreds of restaurants, either in your local area or in any location in the UK , to suit your needs.

The website also provides comprehensive information on leisure time activities including a guide to cinema showings in your area and across the UK , plus information on comedy clubs and theatres, which is great when planning your after-work entertainment.

“When time is money, the instant accessibility of this scale and detail of information is invaluable for smarter working practice”, says Louise Perry, Internet Product Manager, ThomsonLocal.com.
