The Bureau is constantly featured in national newspapers and magazines. Below are
extracts from some of them.

“Rural course of true love given a helping hand”
Colin Wright , MAIL ON SUNDAY
The often isolated nature of living and working in the countryside is prompting lonely country people to turn to Britain’s longest established rural dating agency in the hope of finding a spouse. Long working hours, the insularity of village life and demise in traditional country pursuits, is making it ever more difficult for countryfolk to meet their ideal partners.

“Meeting through a Bureau is becoming more acceptable”
Stephanie Ferguson, YORKSHIRE POST
Pat has all kinds of men and women on her Register. The common thread is that they all enjoy country pursuits or rural life in some way- and want to find a partner. Among her success are twin nurses who had a double wedding both to Bureau bridegrooms; the country postmistress who went to the Falklands to marry.”

“Farmers hunt for brides “
Lille Flower, FARMERS WEEKLY
Patricia is busy in the bureau office sending e-mail messages to lonely heart Farmers…she has over 700 Farmers waiting to be picked as husbands…the walls of her office bear witness to the success of the The Country Bureau: nearly 150 photographs of newly wed couples.
