Exciting news for all you small business lovers! π Today marks the launch of the Small Business Saturday roadshow, celebrating the UK’s beloved local firms. Kicking off in Lossiemouth, Scotland, the team will travel over 3,000 miles, highlighting incredible small businesses in towns and cities across the UK, like Edinburgh, Belfast, Preston, and beyond. πβ¨


With Small Business Saturday coming up on 6 December, this month-long ‘Tour’ is all about shining a light on the passion, creativity, and dedication of the people behind the UK’s 5.6 million small businesses. From unique brew bars to luxurious chocolate shops and even axe-throwing experiences, the roadshow aims to showcase the diverse and inspiring stories of local entrepreneurs. π«βοΈπͺ

Supported by BT, the Tour offers a platform for these businesses to share their journeys, challenges, and successes with a wider audience. Expect to see engaging social media stories, behind-the-scenes tours, and top tips from the experts along the way. π±π
