About Us

Back in February of 2008, the founder of beelocal, Andrew Redmayne, was at a friend’s BBQ when the host made a point of saying that the meat may not be up to the usual high standard, as they did not have time to get to their local butcher, and had to buy it from a nearby supermarket instead.

This got Andrew thinking that there must be another way to shop locally that fits in with the busy lifestyles of today. A year down the line, and with a lot of hard work, research and investment, beelocal are proud to launch their local online shopping service!

The beelocal team:

The beelocal management team consists of 4 people:

Andrew Redmayne, who is the founder of beelocal, is the chairman of a successful cumbria-based recruitment business. Andrew is overseeing the whole project, bringing his years of managerial experience to the team.

Matt Mavir, who has known Andrew and myself for over 20 years now, and runs a successful web business as well as a successful web development agency. Matt is overseeing the web development aspect of the project, in addition to being heavily involved with the day to day tasks of setting up beelocal.

Andy Hindmarch, who is Matt’s right hand man in his web development business, and has an impressive career history within the web development and programming industry. Andy is involved with the development of the beelocal website, to ensure that the site is as functional and customer friendly as we could possibly hope for.

And finally there is myself, David Redmayne. I am Andrew’s son, and after hearing my dad’s idea about a local online shopping service, I threw myself at the challenge of making beelocal a reality. For the past year I have dedicated all my time to the task of setting up beelocal, being involved with all aspects of the project, from meeting with leading retailers, to creating logistics solutions.

The beelocal delivery team consists of 3 of the friendliest and hardest working drivers in the South Lakes; Bruce Wells, Richard Bates & Michael Hughes.

As I am sure you are aware, all of us at the beelocal team feel passionately about local shops, local shopping, and local communities. beelocal is our way of trying to make a difference in these tough times, and we believe that beelocal will be a great service for local shops and communities alike. We hope you feel the same!
