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-
       ness Exchange Swindon & Wiltshire
       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
       formed group will be sharing the
       offices with sister firm Excalibur
       Communications.
        Each publication is accompanied
       by a new state-of-the-art website
       and mobile app which means read-
