Seeker News was launched in grand style on Monday with VIPs breaking the bubbly on the magazine’s metaphorical hull in the stylish surroundings of Sevens Boatshed on the shores of Poole Park lake.
Copies were kept under wraps until business mentor – and our first cover star – James Sale had delivered a speech in which he paid tribute to the magazine’s rapid generation.
“Speed stuns and when you can create a magazine of this quality in just three weeks from initial idea to printed page you know you are in the presence of something very powerful,” he said.
“I’m so excited by Seeker News. What Steve and Dawn have done has been truly tremendous – they’re heroes!”
Seeker MD Steve Cook paid tribute to the backing of the local business community.
“I’m quite embarrassed my how well this has gone,” he said. “We had to double the number of pages to accommodate everyone that wanted to be in the magazine – and that was just the contacts in my network. The support has been incredible.”
Responses to the first issue were lead by business rescue expert Mark Liddle, who said: “Very classy, I love the way it’s done. It’s brilliant.”
Nigel Hedges, president of Bournemouth Chamber of Trade and Commerce, added: “What quality, well done.”
Many picked up on how quickly the magazine was created from the first idea to the finished article.
“Congratulations to Steve and Dawn for taking their idea and turning it into a reality. It’s a testament to their entrepreneurial spirit and their love of their own business,” said inspiration speaker Dr Dave Richards.
“I’m so thrilled to see this magazine and I know it will make a big difference with its fresh approach to business reporting – let’s talk about the good things being done in business,” suggested Samantha Acton of Domestic Angels.
Noting the magazine’s high production values and stunning design, Paul Tucker, communications officer at Poole’s Lighthouse, added: “This is absolutely gorgeous, it’s a very impressive first issue and now I can’t wait to see the second one.”
