The Tilehurst Directory has grown considerably since it was launched in May 2005. From a circulation of just 1200 we now deliver to 12,000 homes covering the whole of Tilehurst. The magazine is very popular with residents to source local businesses and services. Many people keep the magazine for months and it has even been described as 'her bible to find local workmen'. The reason being that local services create a feeling of trust and care.

Here are a few of the comments from both readers and advertisers:

“I have received more calls from readers of the Tilehurst Directory than from any other form of advertising” 
Harveys Plumbing

“The Directory really does work, within four days of the Directory being delivered I had several new customers”  
The Style Guru 

"I regularly get 18-20 jobs per month from the Tilehurst Directory - this out strips anything any other advertising has done for me for a fraction of the cost"                               Burden Electrical

"My business has grown from 3-4 people attending classes to 25 - 30 coming every night, most of these 'customers' come from the Directory, if you are in doubt as to whether you should advertise give me a call I'll be completely honest with you, my business wouldn't be where it is without it!"                         Sharon, The Dance Studio

“It’s great, I use the Tilehurst Directory all the time to find local people, I prefer local businesses as I feel I can trust them, it’s the best thing to hit Tilehurst in years!!”  Tilehurst Librarian

“I would also like to say that the Tilehurst Directory has been absolutely invaluable in my household as we moved to the area 7 months ago, and as first time buyers needed so much doing to our house, and so many things going wrong. The directory really helped us to get in touch with professionals in our area and we have not been disappointed in anyone of the companies we used through the Directory” 
StephanyTurner, Tilehurst Resident
