Letters / Not the company’s view
In relation to your story Fishing for Yes (SN, 29/07/14), I’d like to point out that John Gold’s views are made in a personal capacity, not as manager of Frankie’s Fish & Chips.
John made this abundantly clear to those behind the new campaign, yet they have disingenuously chosen to draw on Frankie’s award-winning status to promote their views.
Businesses do not have a vote in the referendum, and we at Frankie’s have refrained from taking a stance on the issue for this reason.
Our staff are of course free to voice their opinions, but they do so as individuals and not as representatives of the business.

Journalism comes at a price and because that price is not being paid in today’s rapidly changing media world, most publishers - national and local - struggle financially despite very healthy audience figures.
