Most of my clients are in Haddington so being listed there made perfect sense. Neep made it easy to get set up and I was live within a day.
Top Banana put me in front of local clients I didn't know were looking - simple, no fuss, and it just works. I wasn't sure a local directory would work for voiceover, but the enquiries speak for themselves. Worth every penny.
About Roughcasters
A roughcaster applies a textured external finish to buildings - the traditional Scottish harling that protects stone and blockwork walls from the weather while giving them a clean, uniform appearance.
Harling is one of Scotland's most common wall finishes and when it cracks, blows or starts to let in damp, getting it patched or replaced promptly prevents more expensive damage to the masonry underneath.
Ask whether they use traditional lime harling or modern cement render - on older stone buildings, lime-based finishes allow the walls to breathe and avoid the moisture problems that cement can cause.

About Kirriemuir
Kirriemuir is a small town in the Angus glens foothills, about six miles northwest of Forfar, known as the birthplace of J M Barrie, the author of Peter Pan.
Barrie's birthplace on Brechin Road is managed by the National Trust for Scotland and the town has embraced its connection to the story - a Peter Pan statue stands in the town square and the wash house behind the family home is said to have been the model for the Wendy house.
Kirriemuir is also the hometown of Bon Scott, the AC/DC vocalist and a statue of him in the town square reflects a more recent strand of its cultural identity.
The town sits at the edge of the Angus glens, making it a practical base for walking and cycling into Glen Clova, Glen Prosen and Glen Isla, all accessible within a short drive.
It has a good range of independent shops, a primary and secondary school and the kind of compact market-town centre that serves its community well.
About Angus
(opens in new tab)Angus is a council area on the east coast of Scotland, stretching from the North Sea shoreline inland through the fertile Strathmore valley to the high ground of the Angus Glens and the fringes of the Cairngorms.
Forfar is the county town and administrative centre, while Arbroath on the coast is the largest settlement - a town with deep historical significance as the place where the Declaration of Arbroath was signed in 1320.
The area divides naturally into three bands: the coastal strip with its harbours, beaches and golf links; the broad agricultural plain of Strathmore running through the middle; and the Highland glens - Clova, Prosen, Isla, Esk and Lethnot - that reach northward into the mountains.
Angus has a strong identity shaped by farming, fishing and food - the Arbroath smokie and the Forfar bridie are both nationally recognised and the soft fruit industry across the Strathmore valley has been a mainstay for generations.
Transport links include the main east coast rail line serving Arbroath, Carnoustie and Montrose, the A90 dual carriageway connecting Dundee to Aberdeen and a network of rural roads that reach into some of the most scenic and least-visited parts of Highland Scotland.
