Raring2go! CLUBS AND CLASSES - HOLIDAY CLUBS 22 raring2go.co.uk Raring2go! ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS A double celebration: 21 years of Raring2go! and my 10 years as Editor! This year marks a very special double celebration. The Raring2go! brand proudly turns 21, and I'm celebrating my own milestone – 10 years as editor of your Ipswich, Felixstowe & Woodbridge and West Suffolk magazines since taking over the business in 2016. What started back in 2005 as a simple idea has grown into a much-loved family brand, and when the Ipswich, Felixstowe & Woodbridge edition launched in 2006, it quickly became trusted by parents, carers, schools and local businesses alike. Our aim has always remained the same: to bring together the very best activities, events, classes, days out and family-friendly services in one easy place. Over my decade as editor, I've had the privilege of supporting hundreds of local businesses and helping families plan brilliant days out. It warms my heart that some of those businesses from 2016 are still featuring in these pages today – a testament to the loyalty that makes this community so special. As family lifehas changed, so have we – and none of it would have been possible without you. Here's to 21 years of Raring2go! – and to many more adventures ahead. Remember 2016? • Ipswich streets were taken over by life-size fibreglass pigs as part of the 'Pigs Gone Wild' trail. • Queen Elizabeth II visited Newmarket to unveil a statue of herself in celebration of her 90th birthday. • Leona Lewis performed at the Ipswich Regent. • Mick McCarthy was in charge of Ipswich Town Football Club. • Felixstowe had a wonderful 'Rio' themed carnival. • The Brexit referendum had the whole country glued to the news. •Pokémon GO had parents wandering round parks with their phones out, catching Pokémon with their kids. Simpler times. • And in 2016, Raring2go! in Suffolk got a new editor. Some things were clearly built to last! Profitable Part-Time Business for Sale Have you ever dreamed of running your own business, making your own decisions and taking control of your working life to fit around your family? After 10 wonderful years, I am now looking for a new owner to take over the Ipswich, Felixstowe & Woodbridge and West Suffolk editions of Raring2go! magazine and website - a well-established local business with a loyal customer base. Why This Business Works: • Profitable part-time income • Strong forward bookings • Home-based with flexible hours around family life • Be there for school runs, sports days and holidays • Low overheads My Story: During my years as Editor I've enjoyed discovering new places to visit with my family, reviewing shows at the theatre and trying out new activities with my children. By working for myself, I've been lucky enough to build a career around my family's needs. As my children are now older, I feel it's time to start a new chapter. I'm looking for another local, passionate parent to take over this business I've built with care. Don't worry though, I'm not going anywhere until I find the right person to hand over to. What You'll Need: • No previous experience necessary • An interest in the local community and what's on for families • A self starter with an eye for detail and a cando attitude • Enjoy building relationships with local businesses and attractions The Details: While Raring2go! means you work for yourself, you're part of a franchise network with systems and support in place. I will provide full handover support to help you succeed. Next Steps: If you're interested in learning more - including full financial details, the current franchise agreement terms, and an honest conversation about both opportunities and challenges - please get in touch.
