Last weekend I had the pleasure of marking Small Business Saturday by visiting local business in Louth accompanied by Neil Sharpley, East Lindsey Federation of Small Businesses.
I was glad to speak with well-established business owners from a variety of shops including Trevor Fairburn Butchers Ltd, Eve & Ranshaw’s, St Peter’s Fishmongers, All Occasions Florist, M & G Designs Needlecraft, Stevenson’s Greengrocer and the Cheese Shop.
It was especially pleasing to visit newly established local retailers who are starting out on new ventures such as Daniella's Shoe Shop and Jassies Sweet Shop.
Local independent retailers make a huge contribution to our towns and villages here in Louth & Horncastle, that is why I will continue giving them my support.
