Looking for a Freelance Groom?
Finding a groom is quite often a challenge. The BGA provides an opportunity for it's members to advertise here if they are a freelance groom.
Does this directory work ?? BGA Member Jane Hendry (right) says - "I have only recently joined but have had such brilliant feedback from being on the Freelance Groom Adverts. Everyone who rings me says they saw me on the BGA website, even though I have other adverts in magazines and business cards in tack shops etc. So it has really paid dividends to be associated with the BGA."
Are you a BGA member and a freelance groom and would like to advertise? Email - info@britishgrooms.org.uk to add your details to this NEW directory of Freelancers.
