Anthony Shotton, director of Hostformat, comments: "Markets within the UK have traditionally been a place where anyone and everyone can shop. They bring economic, social and cultural benefits while forming a hub for our local communities. At a time when many of our traditional markets are struggling or in decline we have a public duty to support and revitalise them. I hope Marketformat.com is an instrumental tool to this purpose by way of positive promotion to the general public and our visitors from overseas of all that is great about our British Markets."
