Edition Three of the Carrot Club Magazine marks a big milestone as Spiky Carrot turns two. In this special anniversary edition, we look back at how Spiky Carrot began, how it has evolved over the years, and what we’ve learned along the way while supporting local independent businesses.

This edition also features brilliant guest articles from Helen Dobson, owner of Core Social, and Simon Hepburn, founder of Share Your Story. Both share practical insights and advice on improving your social media, creating stronger content, and showing up more confidently online in the year ahead.

You’ll also find a great collaborative piece from Alice and Emily, owners of Wray & Co, sharing how we came to work together and the value of local partnerships built on trust and shared values.

Packed with real stories, expert insight, and community spirit, this edition celebrates independent businesses, collaboration, and the people behind them, all brought together in one local independent magazine.
