ADVERTISE with THE HON. EDITOR AND THE HON. ADVERTISING MANAGER IN THE D.H.O JOURNAL

If you have a product or service which you think is something people may like to buy, extend your market by advertising in the DHO Journal. With over 1,700 members, the DHO provides a select readership and the advertising rates, which start at £45 for a quarter page, are a bargain. Your advertisements can be in colour or black and white, and advertisers may, if they wish, have a link, free of charge, from the DHO website to their own. For more information, contact the Hon. Advertising Manager.

Also, if you know someone else who might be interested in advertising, please let the Hon. Advertising manager know. He will send them a copy of last year’s Journal and full information about placing an advert.
