Live in Northampton

There are a number of printing firms in Northampton but choosing the right one for you will depend on your requirements. For example, if you need to print a few hundred brochures, several magazines or some flyers for your village, then you need to find a company who specialises in small jobs. The big printing firms in Northamptonshire will only take on jobs if you’re talking 5,000 or more brochures, magazines or adverts. Printing isn’t cheap but traditional marketing still works so you could easily make a return on investment. The one thing you do need to do, however, is to not print too many. Let’s say you print more but there’s not enough demand, you could find you have wasted a lot of money. With printing, you have to get everything right first time; there can be no mistakes or errors in terms of design, copy, prices and quantities.

At last a player we can all get excited about…hopefully! Paul Anderson has recently signed for the Cobblers having spent the whole of last season at Bradford. Having signed on deadline day, it came as pretty big news. Many fans thought the time was up and we wouldn’t get any more players in before the start of the season, but by singing an experienced midfielder like Anderson, it shows the club is moving in the right direction. The 28 year old started his career as a youth player for Liverpool and though he never quite made the step up, he has had a successful career in the lower leagues, but he’s now in his prime and hopefully he’ll help Northampton up their performance this season. A win at MK dons could be on the cards early next month, but only if the players can gel quite quickly.

Once again it’s nearly time for the Northampton balloon Festival. Like previous years, next month’s event will take place at Billing Aquadrome. This year, guests will be hoping for good weather, as this has let the event down in the past, but if the conditions allow, the balloons will be flying high at both 6am and 6pm on each of the three days of the event. It’s a terrific sign off for summer and it provides the perfect opportunity for taking wonderful snaps, whilst the 9.00pm “Balloon Glow” on Saturday evening is a sight to behold. If you’re looking for something to do this year and Bedford’s river festival wasn’t quite your cup of tea, the Northampton balloon Festival is a fine option and it’s been going strong for many years.

Northampton is a town well known for its university, beautiful parks and multi-cultural restaurants, but it’s also a town with a lot to offer for office workers. Whether you’d like to break into accounting, marketing, design, copywriting, purchasing or sales, there are many small and large businesses offering opportunities to new graduates. Like Milton Keynes, Cambridge, and Bedford, Northampton has a broad range of office based jobs up for grabs all year round, and you’ll be able to see the latest opportunities online or in the local papers. The university was once voted number one for employability, so that goes to show just how many opportunities are there to be grabbed in Northampton.

Northampton was once the UK’s capital for shoe production and whilst there are a few old factories still knocking around, it’s not the thriving industry it once was. Here are some of the top places to work in Northamptonshire today.

Brackmills

This popular industrial estate is packaged with a diverse range of small and large businesses and there are always plenty of jobs going on this estate each and every year.
