Positive news for the whole of Swindon

A new company has been formed
that is definitely good news for the
people of Swindon.
Positive Media Group is the new
umbrella organisation that brings
together a stable of publications:
Swindon Link magazine, The Busi-

and entertainment guide The Ocelot.
This comes at the same time as
the company moves to the prestig-
ious Arclight building overlooking
Peatmoor Lagoon, the former home
of Cellular Operations. The newly

offices with sister firm Excalibur

by a new state-of-the-art website
and mobile app which means read-
