NEW business directories to be published will give firms in the South Bucks area the chance to get their names known.

British Publishing Company has started work on the new Wycombe Business Directory on behalf of Wycombe District Council.

It will provide as complete a listing as possible of businesses in the district, subject to companies responding to the questionnaire shortly to be posted to their premises. Entry will be free and advertising space, at a charge, will also be available.

Anyone wanting to place an entry or take space can contact BPC'S Matt Gibbon via the district council fax (01494) 421132.

The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, which includes Cookham, is also publishing a business directory in the summer.

The directory being published by the council's economic development team will feature details of more than 2,800 businesses in the borough and entries are free.

The closing date for entries is May 18.

Registration forms are available from Donna Evans on (01452) 418191 or from the local chambers of commerce and from local libraries.
