Highlands and Islands MSP Donald Cameron is urging local people to support their local small businesses when shopping for Christmas.
In the run-up to Small Business Saturday (4th December), Mr Cameron said:
“Small businesses are the mainstay of our economy here in the Highlands and Islands, and provide livelihoods for thousands of local people. It’s right that we should celebrate the contribution that they make on Small Business Saturday, but even better if we extend our thanks by supporting them as we shop for Christmas."
“Local business-people have shown extraordinary resilience throughout the Covid-19 pandemic and for some of them, particularly those in retail, the festive season can be very important."
“So, in making our purchasing decisions, let’s take advantage of the many excellent products and services that are available from local suppliers.”
