Now more than ever, small businesses across the UK need support to get through the upcoming months of uncertainty, so when you’re searching for the perfect Christmas crackers or the best decorations this year, why not consider shopping independent?
As Second Nature is built on a network of independent businesses, we know how important it is to show solidarity during these times.
Independent businesses are built by people with invaluable experience and a true passion for their industry, whether they’re in the kitchen trade like our Second Nature specialists, or whether they have built up a company in hospitality or the creative industry- they are all vital to communities, families and livelihoods.
To show our support for independent businesses across the UK, we’ve pulled together a ‘small business’ guide for everything you could possibly need for Christmas 2020- from crackers for the table, to decorations for the tree.
So, why not join us in showing support and have yourself an independent Christmas?
