Local Business Week
10th - 16th of May
Supporting communities by encouraging local business!
As local businesses are the backbone of the UK economy, Local Business Week was set up to celebrate and advise local enterprises to maximise their potential.
This year, Local Business Week will see industry experts and thought leaders giving vital insight and advice to the UK's diverse range of businesses in your area.
From local stalls to local chains – every local business is at the heart of every community whether that’s bringing people together, supporting the community financially or providing a personalised service.
Local Business Week wants to celebrate the rich identity local businesses have over corporate boards or stockholding business chain owners by supporting as many local businesses as possible and supporting YOUR local businesses couldn’t be easier. You don’t have to be a business owner to get involved, with research from smallbusiness.co.uk estimating every £10 spent in a local independent ends up with £50 going back into the local economy.
The founder of Local Business Week and business owner Adam Cox is hoping the week will encourage more locals or local businesses to celebrate the role they have in the communities and predicts a record number of new businesses to get started this year.
Discussing the humble begins of Local Business Week Cox, notes, “When we launched, we did so with the intention to raise public awareness about shoppers staying local. Our current goal is to make SME owners aware of the support and guidance that exist for them, especially when it comes to technology, finance and marketing. We show how they might go about finding valuable new customers whilst keeping hold of their ‘regulars’ too. “
