| Burton Upon Trent as many other towns is losing its | | | | offering lots of information about businesses but |
| roots mainly because Coors has taken over the | | | | actually no information that can really be used |
| world reknown brewer Bass. The same as HP being | | | | effectively. Why because none of them are local, lots |
| taken from Birmingham to go to Europe. When will it | | | | of them are out of date have no real idea about the |
| stop? I started to see it with pub companies planting | | | | local area and the businesses in them. We are losing |
| the same pubs in every town in the UK and the | | | | the local feel of towns and cities in this country, one |
| same with department stores. Every town starting | | | | reason is because of the Internet. All of the big |
| to look the same. England and everytown within it | | | | companies can get to the top of the search rankings |
| has its one underlying attraction - tradition. This is | | | | and make more money on a national scale but where |
| soon disapearing and this really gave me a blow to | | | | does this leave the local businesses? Local businesses |
| the ribs when they have even taken our British beer | | | | need to be advertised as well and the best way for |
| Bass away from us. We need to encourage UK | | | | them to do this is to collaborate together on to one |
| businesses, firstly from leading by example by not | | | | site and get noticed on their collaborated page on the |
| selling our national iconic businesses to other | | | | net. This is what I am doing in Burton Upon Trent |
| countries. For more information on Burton Upon Trent | | | | because if you type Burton Upon Trent in the search |
| visit are so many business finders on a national scale, | | | | engine no local business is ranked there. |
