Weekly Round Up

GWS has had a busy week, showing at the Best of Bristol Exhibition, and a rather hungry week, as our website for an exciting new company Find That Ingredient has gone live, making our mouths water in the process. 

 Here are the top stories that have caught our eyes this week:

• An IPhone application that allows you to travel to Bristol's past.
