MyVillage.com, the leading national network of over 80 London area websites and over 21 UK City sites, recently decided to move from the Press Association to Global DataPoint for the provision of their comprehensive what’s on and events listings services throughout all of their sites. After a detailed evaluation of the degree of depth and breadth of events coverage for the UK, MyVillage made the choice to work with Global DataPoint for this integral element of their market leading service.

Roifield Brown, Managing Director of MyVillage said “We made the decision to use Global DataPoint for the provision of what’s on and events listings due to the high level of granularity and excellent level of coverage UK wide. We required a feed of events data that matched the high standards we set for MyVillage.com’

It really highlights the depth and comprehensive coverage of our data on a truly national web portal.
