MIND YOUR BUSINESS | Leading Edge shuts, Red Door opens, CozWine's free service
SHUT: Leading Edge Computers has closed indefinitely in Lords Place.
After years servicing the Orange community, Leading Edge Computers has closed its premises in Lords Place.
A business representative said the Orange business was closed at least partially due to the COVID-19 pandemic and wasn't cost effective to operate in two locations.
The business will remain shut for the foreseeable future.
However, the representative said customers from the Orange store will be serviced from the Bathurst branch at 99a George Street.
He said warranties will remain in place but customers will need to travel to Bathurst to have their devices serviced or repaired.

New shop, old items
The Red Door Vintage and Collectica has opened in Molong.
Former Jayes Gallery owner Libby Oldham has opened the business with Jen Willox.
"She's got a great eclectic eye so the two of us are doing it," Mrs Oldham.
Mrs Oldham has owned the building Red Door Vintage and Collectica is based out of and previously operated Jayes Gallery out of the space.
"I've got things that I want to sell and a shop I want to fill it with," Mrs Oldham said.
Mrs Oldham said she sells vintage china, silver, furnishings, clothing and telephones.
"We are not an antique shop we are a vintage retro and collectibles and interesting things shop," she said.

Harvest trail services
The Australian government has partnered with Harvest Trail Service Providers to offer farmers and horticultural employers a free service that connects them with quality workers.
The initiative was introduced due to COVID-19 isolation measures affecting international seasonal workers that farms and wineries depend on.
CozWine is offering the service in the Central West.
The free services include, sourcing suitable workers to meet harvest labour needs, registering job seekers and checking their legal right to work in Australia, advertising job vacancies on the Harvest Trail Jobs Board and planning workforce and recruitment needs.
It also helps job seekers to find employment with rural agricultural businesses.
The work includes fruit picking, pruning trees and vines, flower planting, growing and picking and planting and picking vegetables, as well as packing and initial processing.
