Season to be cheerful
Spring is nature’s coming-of-age time, so there was no one better to feature in this edition than a teenager from Gillingham who is approaching adulthood in remarkable fashion.
At 17, Ben Towers is a local phenomenon. At 11 he founded his own company and now, despite being too young to vote in June’s EU referendum, is a multi-award winning entrepreneur with his own web design agency employing 15 people and serving more than 700 customers.
Even better, Rainham Mark Grammar School graduate Ben is operating and employing
locally, with Towers Design headquartered in Maidstone’s new Business Terrace and the youngster hoping to fly the nest and move to the county town.
The feel-good interview on pages seven to nine sets the scene for our celebration of a season during which warmth, light and colour increase by the day.
Whether it is getting out in the garden or booking a barmy night out, we have plenty of suggestions to get you shaking off those dark days of winter. See our double-page feature on gardens to visit in Kent on pages 20-21 and our theatre previews on page 24 to get you in the mood.
Our Editor’s Choice on pages 11-18 offers plenty of ideas to keep the children entertained during the Easter holidays at events across the county.
If you are planning to get stuck into a project at home, don’t feel left out; bag yourself a treat from the county – without even leaving your home – with our feature on the rising popularity of online shopping in Kent on page 28-29
So, if the cold has been your excuse, let the new season be your reason to spring back into life.
