Calling all loyal Maxonians!  Now is your chance to put Macclesfield and our dedicated and hard working small businesses on the map, both locally and nationally.

The 14 Days of Love campaign invites everyone to nominate the business or businesses that deserve the love.  Those local companies who you know you can rely on; the restaurant where the service is always impeccable; the retailer who goes out of his way to get you exactly what you're after; the tradesman that arrives when he says he will and charges a fair price for a good job.

We have all these and more in Macclesfield and now you have the opportunity to take a little time to spread the love and show your appreciation, and get those companies the recognition they deserve.  Don't just tell the neighbours about the great service you got, tell the whole nation by adding a testimonial and pushing our home grown businesses up the Love-o-Meter!

Every testimonial added will gain entry into a daily prize draw offering a host of fantastic prizes.  How do you fancy a day at the luxurious Champneys Spa, a trip on the Orient Express, a Magnum of Champagne?  You can see a full list of the delights on offer via the 14 Days of Love link, where you can also add your testimonial for the Macclesfield businesses that you love.

This is a national campaign that is growing year on year, and generating interest in several National newspapers, giving welcome publicity to our unsung local business heroes. With the winners being announced on the 15th February, there is plenty of time to put Macclesfield on the map.

Macclesfield has some excellent business networking groups and a great business to business community.  Direct customer testimonials are only a part of the process, if you work hand in hand with other businesses or service providers now is the time for you all to support each other.

So check out the 14 Days of Love link, see where your favourite businesses are on the Love-o-Meter and add your testimonials - it only takes a moment but can make an enormous difference to the local businesses that make the Macclesfield community what it is.

Why not see what's being said about the campaign on Twitter by using the hashtag #14daysoflove, even add your own Tweet! And as we are hip, slick and down with the kids we even have our own Facebook page too!
