A NEW directory for the care and nursing home industry is to be produced in the Ribble Valley.

Former Surrey publisher Sarah Hemming has set up Turnkey Publishing Ltd in an office at the Whalley home of her husband's parents.

She aims to produce the UK's first Care and Nursing Home Directory from the Clitheroe Road house.

The directory, containing details of products and services for the care industry, will be sent free to every residential and nursing home in the UK.

Sarah, who hopes to recruit sales people over the coming months, said the directory, which will be published next year, would be the first of its kind in the country.
