What’s it all about?
Research has shown that the over 55’s use the internet more than ANY other group in the UK. The so-called ‘Silver Surfers’, have more disposable income, motivation and time to spend looking on-line to make informed choices about purchasing decisions.
Age Concern Nottingham and Nottinghamshire’s new web based initiative is working with a variety of local partners to simplify these decisions and to reduce the risk of users (surfers) falling into the hands of rogue traders.
Our on-line, one-stop directory is the first of its kind to be developed specifically for older people by Age Concern making life easier for thousands of older people, their carers, families or friends who are looking for products or services tailored to their needs. Solicitors, Builders, Plumbers, Electricians, Painters & Decorators, Gardeners, Health products, Mobility products, Restaurants, etc. and lots more can be found on this easy to navigate site, produced and run by Age Concern Business Directory Ltd.

John Anderton, Business Development Manager for the project said, “We are delighted to welcome all new member companies to the directory.

We working with our partners to develop this project locally and expand it to become a national initiative that is the directory of choice for users and businesses.”
