A MATCHMAKER from North Yorkshire is celebrating national success after her first year in business.
Lesley Brewer, from Brawby near Malton, launched The Introduction Company last January to introduce like-minded single men and women.
The former company secretary and college mentor decided to set up her own business after research showed an untapped market for matchmaking in a rural location.
She began with only a handful of people from the county on her books, but the numbers have grown rapidly and the firm now operates nationally.
Mrs Brewer runs the business on her own and works from home. She has been married for 25 years.
She said: "The Introduction Company has grown beyond my own expectations. I was confident that I was filling a gap in the market because there is a real need for what I am doing.
"More people than ever are single but want to meet a long-term partner
"I am thrilled that people are coming to me from all over the UK, which is a goal I didn't think I would reach within my first year.
"I now have clients from all walks of life - professionals, divorcees, widows and farmers - and many clients also come from rural locations, where it is harder to meet new people."
Mrs Brewer operates a strict security checking process with everyone who registers to ensure all clients are looked after. Those registering range in age from people in their late 20s to people in their late 70s.
