'Think local’ and support Gainsborough businesses through the coronavirus pandemic

The ‘Think Local’ campaign by West Lindsey District Council aims to raise awareness and support local businesses across the district that are open for business.

The council has invited businesses from across West Lindsey to submit their details to be included in a business directory.

One of the businesses is J A Photo Studio which is run by Jason Jackson, who is an MPA certified professional photographer and web developer.

Jason runs the studio in White Lion Yard, Lord Street, Gainsborough, with his fiancé, Amy, and specialises in cinematic portraits and documentary wedding photography. They also offer commercial photography and marketing services for businesses of all sizes, anywhere in the UK and beyond.

Jason gets involved in a whole range of projects including modern portrait and documentary wedding photography and event coverage. He also uses his skills and expertise to help businesses with search engine optimisation and social media management.

He said: “I’m so lucky that I get to do what I love every day. I enjoy meeting people from all different walks of life, constantly learning new skills and working for myself.”

And another business which has joined the ‘Think Local’ initiative is Saxilby Physiotherapy which is owned by Jenny Clarke, a HCPC registered and chartered physiotherapist with more than 20 years experience.

Located on Bridge Street, Saxilby, they offer a wide range of services that provide a thorough in-depth assessment and treatment of patients’ conditions.

Jenny is currently in the process of rebranding after changing her business name to Saxilby Physiotherapy and Well-being.

A little bit of renovation work is needed which will include installing air-conditioning and heating control as well as a lick of paint and soon Saxilby Physiotherapy and Well-being will be looking and functioning even better.
