You will have noticed that BoostTorbay.com and our social media profiles have a brand new logo.
It’s cleaner, fresher, flatter and sees the end of the swoosh. Some of you may ave already noticed the change, as it was done in the early hours of this morning, 2nd January 2019.

#BoostTorbay started out life solely as a hashtag on twitter, simply re-tweeting tweets that contained #BoostTorbay, one of the very first hashtags in Torbay to do so.
Today, Torbay has launched its very own Torbay Business Guide, a Whats On Calendar and its very own Jobs Platform.
Boost Torbay has gone from being a simple hashtag to rapidly becoming one of the go to websites for information relating to Torbay.
