Who are we?
By all accounts, 1980 was an interesting year in the UK.
Hercules the grizzly bear went on the run for 24 days to avoid starring in a Kleenex TV advert, a comedian named Russell Howard popped into the world and a little company called Thomson Directories Ltd was born.
One year later and the thomsonlocal Business Directory was already finding its way into over 22 million homes and businesses throughout the UK.
Fast forward to present day and thomsonlocal is a fully digital business directory and marketing service business, connecting millions of customers with local businesses each and every month.
