How did the business come about?
www.warrington-worldwide.co.uk was launched in April 1999 as the first independent daily online newspaper in the country.
It was developed by father and son team David and Gary Skentelbery in response to the changing news scene with the development of the Internet.
It developed into a stable of four free local community magazines providing local businesses with the best of both worlds advertising online and full-colour quality print, while also providing an independent news service for local communities.
