Wingham Chamber of Commerce member profile: Wingham Newsagency
CATHY Palmer has owned Wingham and Taree West news agencies since 2002, purchasing the businesses after working in the corporate world for many years.
She has been successful in making the transition to regional business owner and now enjoys serving two very different communities with an eclectic mix of products.
It’s a working day that begins in the early hours of the morning, seven days a week but Cathy is still as passionate about her businesses today as she was when she purchased them 14 years ago.
The news is what gets most people up early – from paper deliveries at 4am to customers walking through the doors early to pick up the paper.
But Cathy also stocks a wide range of magazines and specialty publications. And the staff are more than happy to order in a magazine that isn’t normally stocked.
With loyal and experienced staff, the news agencies are able to provide the customers with a range of services to suit their needs.
Wingham Newsagency
WINGHAM Newsagency is centrally located on Isabella Street next to Granty’s Fruit and Veg.
The large, well laid out store offers a range of magazines, newspapers, cards,confectionery and stationery products. The store is also a NSW Lotteries outlet and offers an extensive selection of giftware.
Cathy regularly visits trade shows to stock one-of-a kind gifts for her customers so Wingham Newsagency can offer customers products that are just a little different than the norm.
Wingham Newsagency is located at 14 Isabella Street, Wingham. Phone 6553 4034.
