“3980 is a family business owned and led by a disabled entrepreneur
We have one very simple passion, making your business look professional
at a low cost.
If your business is using a hotmail email and your own mobile number
customers may wonder if you're a teenager in a bedroom
We can fix this with anything from local numbers that redirect to your
phone, email addresses @yourbrand.com or even basic websites to get your
business online. With base services costing less than a coffee a week.
Get in touch with people not robots, email Simon@3980.co.uk”

Lisa Greener
Lisa, a fellow spoonie diagnosed with fibromyalgia many years ago, realised that it was too difficult to get her work published in one of the traditional publishers, and found it too expensive with larger independent publishers, so she decided to set up her own publishing company, Green Cat Books in 2017.
