The Emsworth Business Directory
08-09
The web edition of this directory is collated and managed by Emsworth Web Designs and replaces the original online version based on the directory published by the Emsworth Business Association in 2005. It covers Emsworth and the surrounding area encompassing the villages of Southbourne, Nutbourne, Chidham, Hambrook, Funtington and Westbourne.
As well as business in the Emsworth area the directory also includes listings of local community organisations and where available listings include links to websites.
The majority of shops and services listed in this Directory are owned and managed by local independent people and some have been in the same family for generations. The diversity of services on offer is quite remarkable and it is possible to find almost every range of shop or professional service here on your doorstep.
Emsworth offers a real and distinctive alternative to supermarkets and national retail outlets. Business people here are committed to supplying quality products, competitively priced, with personal service at no extra cost. It is therefore not surprising that Emsworth is the most popular shopping destination for residents of the Borough of Havant. In fact, in a national survey of towns and cities carried out by The New Economics Foundation in 2006, Emsworth came 6th in the list of independent and distinctive towns. No other Hampshire or Sussex town was even mentioned! This is a great achievement and a credit to all in our community.
