“We’ve been overwhelmed with the positivity and engagement shown by both the public and the businesses. It’s clear that Ilkley has a deep appreciation for its local offerings, and I thoroughly enjoyed delivering the Love Hearts to our winners.”
The businesses have been proudly sharing their Love Hearts on social media and highlighting the glowing comments from their loyal customers. In addition, the winning businesses will be interviewed by Your Ilkley Radio in the coming days, providing extra recognition for their efforts in making Ilkley a great place to live, visit and do business.
