Liz McInnes, MP for Heywood and Middleton is backing the contribution of small firms in Rochdale as part of this year’s Small Business Saturday on 6 December.

Consumers are being encouraged to ‘shop small’ and celebrate the contribution of entrepreneurs and small firms this weekend.

Last year, Britain’s first Small Business Saturday gave a boost to local shops through extra trade of nearly £500m of additional spending with small firms on the day.

Across the UK different activities are taking place to promote Britain’s small businesses. In Heywood and Middleton there are special events planned for Small Business Saturday including the judging of the Heywood Christmas windows.

Liz McInnes MP said: “I am looking forward to backing our local small shops and independent businesses on Small Business Saturday. We should do all we can to thank them for the vital contribution they make to the local economy, adding to the local community and boosting diversity on the High Street.

“It will be fantastic to build on the success achieved with Small Business Saturday last year, which is why I’m getting fully behind the campaign again and giving my support to local businesses. There are lots of great businesses in Heywood and Middleton and the campaign is a great way of raising awareness and helping boost trade.”
