George Eustice, MP for Camborne, Redruth and Hayle, is calling on small shopkeepers from across the constituency to enter the Best Small Shops Competition, celebrating the creativity of small shops and the central role they play in our local communities.
The Best Small Shops Competition is open to any small shop* operating in the UK. The competition is free to enter and all shops who enter will also be promoted to consumers through an online Indie Retail Directory.
Shopkeepers can nominate their businesses until Monday 9th September via www.bestsmallshops.co.uk. A shortlist of 25 of the most impressive applications will be shortlisted by a panel made up of established representatives from the independent retail industry.
The judges will be looking for evidence of a small shops’ entrepreneurial spirit, ways that they have been innovative in their business and what they have done to have a lasting positive impact on their community.
The shortlisted small shops will be invited to a Parliamentary Reception on 5th November 2019 to meet their Member of Parliament and find out who will be crowned the Best Small Shop for 2019.
George said, “Our high streets are at the heart of our local community. Here in Camborne, Redruth and Hayle, we are lucky enough to have some fantastic local and independent shops serving the local community and making a difference to people's lives. We should all try and shop more locally whenever possible, supporting our high streets and helping to breathe new life into our town centres.”
