About Cheshire Showcase
Our Story
Born in Cheshire. Built for Cheshire.
Cheshire Showcase is a local publication with a simple mission — to connect brilliant independent businesses with the communities they serve.
Our Mission
Showcasing the Best of Local Business Across Cheshire
Cheshire is home to thousands of outstanding independent businesses — from family-run trades and artisan food producers to innovative local services and community-focused enterprises. Yet too often, these businesses struggle to reach the local customers who would love to support them.
Cheshire Showcase was created to change that. We're a quality print and digital publication dedicated entirely to celebrating and promoting the independent businesses that make Cheshire such a special place to live, work and do business.
We believe in the power of local. When you support a local business, you're not just buying a product or service — you're investing in your community, your neighbours and the character of the place you call home.
"Support Local • Love Local • Live Local"
The Cheshire Showcase motto
Community First
Everything we do is rooted in a genuine love for Cheshire and the independent businesses that make it special.
Proudly Local
We live here, work here and care deeply about the communities we serve. This isn't a national franchise — it's personal.
Supporting Independence
We champion the small business owners, sole traders and entrepreneurs who are the backbone of the local economy.
Quality Over Quantity
Cheshire Showcase is a curated, quality publication — not a directory of thousands. Every business featured is chosen with care.

Meet the Founder
Bryan Maguire
Bryan Maguire is the founder and driving force behind Cheshire Showcase. With a deep passion for local business and community, Bryan recognised that Cheshire's independent businesses deserved a dedicated platform to tell their stories and reach the customers who matter most — the people living right on their doorstep.
Having seen first-hand how hard local business owners work, and how difficult it can be to cut through the noise of national advertising and social media algorithms, Bryan set out to create something different — a quality, trusted publication that puts local businesses front and centre.
Cheshire Showcase is built on the belief that when local businesses thrive, communities thrive. Bryan is committed to making that happen, one edition at a time.
