Independent store shout out - November

Posted by Beth Pickard on 01 December

This month we have been shining an extra spotlight on our fabulous independent stores. With Christmas coming and Black Friday having just passed it is a big month for spending and we believe a great time for everyone to show a little extra love to those small stores who are going above and beyond to provide customers with a great experience.

As a business concerned about people and the planet, we are opposed to creating overconsumption and encouraging people to make unneeded purchases. Last year a quarter of you said you regretted your Christmas Black Friday buys. That’s a lot of extra and unnecessary carbon as well as stress. So we joined Holly Tucker and her #ColourFriday campaign - encouraging you to celebrate the colour and creativity of your local independents.
