It’s ‘Keep It Local Week’ between 9-15th May 2022

We’re all familiar with the saying ‘Actions Speak Louder Than Words’, yet it’s so easy to support a cause without actually taking any action.  The idea of buying local is strongly agreed to be a good thing… but too often we default back to the easier options. There are multiple reasons why supporting local businesses is so important. Many have faced real challenges over the last 2 years so it’s important to heighten the need for us to reconsider our buying choices. 

Try these simple actions during Keep It Local Week (or long term) and play your part in supporting local businesses…

  • Instead of jumping in your car to visit out-of-town supermarkets, visit your local shops instead – support local people providing local produce.
  • Take the time to search online for a local supplier before defaulting to Amazon for your next online purchase – local businesses can provide next day delivery too!
  • Use your social media channels to follow and share local business posts – personal recommendations are at the heart of a local community.
  • Recommend a local business/supplier to a friend or family member – it’s often presumed that smaller businesses can’t offer the ranges that large and big-box companies can.  The real choice comes from independent businesses tailoring their goods and services to their customer’s needs.

Further benefits for sticking local also include:

  • The feel-good factor
  • Boosting your local economy
  • Reducing the impact on the environment
  • Supporting your neighbour
  • Supplying quality products

Come and join us on the 12th of May anytime from 10-5pm at our Workplace Event to see and try some of our products that can support you in creating more effective working environments, a better employee experience, and accelerating organisational performance.
