FAVOURITES:  Collect your frequently used contacts here.

How Do I find……?

A COMPANY:  On the homepage you will find the SEARCH BY COMPANY NAME facility.  Use this if you know the name of the company you wish to find ie: Derby House.

A PRODUCT/SERVICE:  To search for a specific item or service, ie: riding boots, clippers or a charity, please use the category tabs on the left hand side of the screen.  If you are unsure of where to find something a full category list can be viewed under the “VIEW ALL CATEGORIES” tab.

A COMPANY IN MY COUNTY:  We have a county filter located at the top of the chosen category page which enables a county search.

COMPANIES CLOSEST TO ME:  We have a distance filter located at the top of the chosen category which enables a postcode search from 5, 10, 20 to 50 mile radius.

The A-Z / Z-A search is also available in every category.

How do I get back to a full category list when I have filtered using county/distance/A-Z? You can use the category heading at the top of the page or use the “breadcrumbs” trail of headings listed underneath.

Can I save my search results? Yes, send results to your favorites icon and you don’t have to search for them each time you need them.  We have asked you to register your details, but this is so the site recognises your list specifically for you.

I want to find a specific set of reins (for example) and I have 8 possible suppliers.  Do I have to contact each one? No.  You can use our email list to send one email to up to 10 companies in one hit!  Let the Index take the time and effort out of researching companies, by doing it for you!

What if I can’t find what I’m looking for?  With over 310 categories and well over 15, 500 listings we are confident that whatever you are looking for it will be on the Index. However, if you are unable to locate your product or service, please email us at enquiries@watsonsdirectories.com so we are able to help.  Please be aware that the site is new.  We are busy researching new areas in order to bring you the highest quality products and services.  We are adding new companies daily and will have all categories providing details as soon as possible.

Why don’t all companies have links? Business advertisers have live links to their websites.  These companies are committed to winning your business and are able to provide you with the details for you to make an informed purchasing decision.
