TheBusinessDesk.com and Crain's Manchester Business
In the wake of the closure of the highly respected regional business publication Crain's Manchester Business on June 22, regional online news provider TheBusinessDesk.com is pleased to announce an agreement with Crain Communications Limited, which will ensure continuity of service for its high quality online readership.
TheBusinessDesk.com, which has been operating in the North West since September 2008, providing free business news and daily business news alerts, already serves more than 40,000 high quality business readers across the North West, Yorkshire and West Midlands.
It is proud to provide free business news to the Manchester business community, and also businesses in Cheshire, Lancashire and Liverpool.
TheBusinessDesk.com would like to invite all Crain's subscribers to spend just one minute signing up to our service at this link http://www.thebusinessdesk.com/yorkshire/register/login.html - completely free of charge - to ensure you are kept abreast of every breaking business news story that affects Manchester and all the cities and towns across the region.
Unlike any other regional media company, our sole focus is online - and like Crain's we send out a daily email with the cream of business news from Manchester, Liverpool, Cheshire, and Lancashire business.
Our daily email will arrive by 9am each day and we also update our website with news throughout the day.
When a big business story breaks we'll transmit a Breaking News Alert, ensuring our subscribers receive the essential North West business news without delay.
Announcing the closure of Crain's Manchester Business, Chris Crain, vice president, Crain Communications Inc, and editor-chief of Crain's Manchester Business, said: "While we have been pleased with the support received from Crain's Manchester Business readers from the beginning of the project, ultimately the limited support from key advertising sectors has made the project unsustainable."
Mr Crain said the Manchester business title had been a "highly useful product that was met with great excitement from the Greater Manchester business community because it captured the must know news and information for the coming business week."
