Small Business Saturday is a great success I supports small businesses across the constituency Small Business Saturday is an initiative first started in the U.S. to encourage people to support their local small, independent businesses at this time of year. It has the backing of the Prime Minister and all political parties. As the Prime Minister’s Small Business Ambassador for London, I had a packed schedule on Small Business Saturday, visiting lots of small businesses in Hounslow, Osterley, Isleworth, Brentford and Chiswick. I joined Veronika Weisweiller from the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) to visit The Eye Studio and Noa Noa, two of the businesses on Chiswick Southside who got together to promote Small Business Saturday with special offers on the day. It was great to meet so many small businesses during our events for Small Business Saturday. I really enjoyed visiting some new and exciting businesses like Bianca Marton in Brentford who makes delicious chocolates and Bagista a new handbag shop in Chiswick as well as established favourites like Zecca, Frivoli and Snapdragon.” The independent shops and businesses on our high streets really add to the unique character of our area. We all need to do our bit to support them so they can continue to grow and prosper. The government is fully behind small businesses and has introduced a whole host of measures to support them including extending help with business rates, cutting National Insurance bills and supporting funding to small business through the Business Bank.
