The Milford Mercury has always been committed to supporting and promoting businesses in Milford Haven and the surrounding area.

When businesses thrive and prosper, so too does the town.

However, sometimes even the most successful operations need a little helping hand.

At the Milford Mercury, we know only too well that one the biggest challenges small and medium-sized businesses face comes when recruiting the right staff at the right time.

We also know that recruitment can be a costly business.

So to show our backing for our firms and businesses in the area we will be running a new initiative for the next three months where companies – however large or small – can place an advert on our recruitment pages free of charge.

The offer will see vacancies placed in a free 5x2-sized ad space in the Milford Mercury and on the Career Builder website to ensure recruiters enjoy maximum exposure and get the right people applying for the right posts.

“We are delighted to be able to offer free space in the Milford Mercury to help companies fill vacancies,” said head of advertising Mike Owen.

“Milford Haven and the surrounding area has a great deal going on at present and going forward and here at the Milford Mercury we want to make sure we help those green shoots flourish.

“We know that advertising on recruitment pages has in the past been quite expensive and has sometimes been prohibitive for small companies, so we want to sidestep that problem.

“We want to show how much we support every aspect of the local economy – from the smallest firm to the largest major employers and by offering free ad space on our recruitment pages we know we can help firms in the area get the people they need.”

Editor Steve Adams said: “Advertising recruitment vacancies in the pages of the Milford Mercury and online at Career Builder is the best way to fill posts quickly and efficiently.

“This fantastic offer means we are continuing our long tradition of supporting Milford Haven businesses and the wider economy in the best way we can.”
