SAM ROWLANDS, Member of the Welsh Parliament for North Wales, is encouraging his constituents to support small businesses and shop locally in the run up to Christmas.
Mr Rowlands, is backing a national initiative, to get more people to shop small on Saturday December 7.
He said: “I am always happy to support this national initiative which aims to highlight local businesses across the UK and Wales and ultimately encourages more people to shop locally.
“For many years I have been a great supporter of Small Business Saturday which inspires more and more people to support local business and buy locally sourced food and other products from their community.
“It really is a fantastic initiative which has continued to be highly successful and extremely important for our local economy.
“I would urge all communities in North Wales to celebrate the day and support their own small businesses in the run up to Christmas and beyond.”
Small Business Saturday UK is a grassroots, non-political, non-commercial campaign, which highlights small business success and encourages consumers to ‘shop local’ and support small businesses in their communities.
Now in its 12th year in the UK, the campaign has grown significantly year on year encouraging people to shop small.
The day itself takes place this year on Saturday December 7 but the initiative aims to have a lasting impact on small businesses.
On Small Business Saturday customers are urged to go out and support all types of small businesses, online, in offices and stores with many hosting events and offering discounts.
