Kicking off in Scotland on 4 November, and finishing in London on 4 December, this year’s Small Business Saturday nationwide roadshow will embark on a month long journey across the country – covering 21 cities and over 3,000 miles – to celebrate the nation’s independents and to tell the story of their contribution to communities and the wider economy.
Supported by BT, the tour will visit small businesses all over the country including Dundee, Glasgow, Belfast, Chester, Newcastle, Darlington, Leeds, Lincoln, Nottingham, Northampton, Swansea, Chippenham, Plymouth, Bournemouth, Brighton, St Albans and London.
Marking the official countdown to Small Business Saturday on 7 December, the tour will showcase people, stories and communities behind the UK’s 5.5m small businesses.
“Small Business Saturday has always been about supporting and celebrating the UK’s fantastic entrepreneurs and the amazing contribution they make to local communities all across the UK,” says Michelle Ovens CBE, director of Small Business Saturday UK.
Alongside the roadshow, the campaign will also offer a month of dedicated free online support for small businesses in the UK. This will include daily workshops and mentoring covering a wide range of relevant topics, as well as insight sessions with small businesses and industry experts.
The campaign has engaged millions and seen billions of £pounds spent with small businesses across the UK on Small Business Saturday.
