Small Business Saturday 7th December

Brent is celebrating Small Business Saturday on 7th December, for those of you that have not heard Small Business Saturday is about encouraging people to "shop local"

The idea was first talked about by Chuka Umanna,  Labour Shadow Business Minister and the idea is rapidly growing.

To help launch Small Business Saturday, Brent Council is holding a Small Business Exhibition at the Civic Centre on Friday 6 th December. A showcase of local products and business leaders will join Brent Regeneration and Growth officers to help with advice on managing red tape or starting up a business.

Council Leader Cllr Muhammed Butt and Cllr George Crane Lead Member for Regeneration and Growth will be meeting business leaders and listening to ways Brent can help small business grow in Brent.

It is also important that we all get out to our local shopping parades in Kingsbury, Church Lane and The Hyde in Edgware Road to "shop local"

Fryent Councillors.
