About Us

Welcome to Going Local

With over 21 years experience helping businesses to grow and reach new customers and bringing communities together through great content and relevant local information, Jill, Trish and the Going Local team have made their service the heartbeat of our community. We are here to serve you.

Going Local is led by Directors Jill and Trish, two experienced advertising professionals who together bring more than 21 years each in the industry. Friendly, approachable and refreshingly down-to-earth, we have built Going Local on a simple principle: treat every customer with honesty, respect and genuine care.
That philosophy has helped create the long-standing relationships that define the publication today. Many businesses have chosen to advertise with Going Local, trusting Jill and Trish and the Going Local team of writers, designers and media specialists to help them reach the right customers in the right areas.
Covering Sheffield and Wakefield, Going Local is truly a local publication run by local people. Jill is based in Sheffield and Trish in Wakefield, giving them a real understanding of the communities they serve. Because they live and work in the areas they cover, they are able to offer practical guidance on the most effective distribution areas to help advertisers achieve the best possible response.

Listening to customers is central to everything we do. By understanding each business and its goals, we ensure the publication delivers advertising that reaches households where it matters most. Our customer service is second to none, and our straightforward, honest approach has earned the trust of businesses across the region.

Going Local is also proud to support the communities it serves. Jill and Trish believe strongly in supporting local charities and community initiatives, and in championing the independent trades, shops and services that keep neighbourhoods vibrant and connected.
To ensure advertisers receive the best possible response, Going Local also carefully limits the number of advertisers from any single trade within each edition. This thoughtful approach prevents oversaturation and helps businesses stand out.
Going Local is about community, trust and lasting relationships helping local businesses thrive while keeping residents connected to the services and stories that matter most in their area. We look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to the Going Local family!
