More than a market




Monocle 24: The Entrepreneurs show

Summary: Gavin Eddy was working as a trader in the City before he decided to quit and buy some land in the countryside. He stumbled on the town of Frome and, captivated by the town’s vibrancy and identity, decided to invest in it. Today, he runs a destination street market once a month, The Frome Independent, showcasing some of the best craftspeople, designers, makers, producers and traders in the South West. We hear how Gavin’s project gave a new lease of life to the town.
