Our Story
Today Cumbrian Local Publications creates marketing opportunities with affordable advertising and strategies that support and strengthen the local economy in Cumbria. Formerly Meridian Sport it became a limited company in 2007. This is the path taken by Lee Quinn, it’s founder, who had designed, edited and produced over 200 sports and events match day and event programmes/magazines which was generally in football and Rugby since 2002. This achievement all made possible, as a dyslexic writer, with the help of his wife who has been his business partner since 1995, Charlotte. A partnership which started their first company, Perennial Process, then a London based management consultancy, which Charlotte works in today.
Relocating as a family to Cumbria at the start of 2010, Cumbrian Local Publications, as we know it today had a main title, the Eden Local Community Magazine, which was first posted through 6,000 doors in Penrith from November 2010. The Eden Local today posts its free publication through over 13,000 doors every month. This includes Penrith and approximately 60 surrounding villages around the town in the Eden Valley, North Pennines and the North Lakes area. Deliveries of the Eden Local, can also include leaflet and brochure inserts via which are all delivered by its own door to door delivery teams of local people living in the area of the distribution.
Generally supported by local businesses, it has some national clients that operate in the region. Predominantly it’s engagement is with local groups in the community and it is supported by voluntary local writers. approximately 1.7 million publications have been posted through local doors in Cumbria since it began. All publications are available to read online at www.cumbrianlocal.co.uk/previous-issues “You can’t beat reading good news, about local people, local business and local events. It was never in plan to launch a local magazine in Penrith, but it was the only way to bridge a growing gap in community communication created by the decline in sales of local newspapers and the national media assumption that everyone is online. This not the case in Penrith centre of one of the most sparsely populated areas of England.” Lee Quinn.
Cumbrian Local Publications was the driving force behind the campaign for the creation and launch of Eden FM community radio on 107.5 FM. You can listen online at radio.garden/live/penrith/edenfm Eden FM appeared in the first issue of Eden Local and it still works closely with the station. Pivotal, in the people’s campaign ‘YES’ for the town of Penrith to have its own Town Council, the Eden Local Community magazine has been involved in 10 local campaigns and it continues to work towards better communication in the Community it serves.
