We have advertised in DC Thomson's The Courier and Evening Telegraph for more years than we can remember. The staff have always been professional, helpful and friendly and the Media staff are no different. Having it all done by someone who listened to, and acted on what we wanted was brilliant. We would highly recommend them."
