I Love Bramhall founder Wendy Green commented:

“When I Love Bramhall first started out five years ago, I could only hope that it would become the success that it is today. The website has had more than a quarter of a million visits, which just goes to show what a fantastic resource it is – both for Bramhall’s residents and visitors.

“I Love Bramhall is so much more than a local business directory – it’s a community. We work with hundreds of businesses, community groups, charities and more, raising the profile of Bramhall and everything our village has to offer.

“It was an absolute pleasure to hold this special celebration at newly opened Italian restaurant Tre Ciccio, which welcomed us so warmly. We were joined on the night by dozens of local business and community representatives – these celebrations are I Love Bramhall’s way of giving back to everyone who has shown their support for our special village over the years.”
