LITTLE Beau Sheep Ltd, based in Ilkley has been chosen as one of 100 impressive small businesses from across the UK to mark the official count down to this year’s Small Business Saturday UK.
Little Beau Sheep, founded by Sarah Turner in 2015 provides handmade laundry and body care products made with British wool and lanolin and was selected to be part of the campaign’s prestigious Small Biz 100 line-up, which showcases inspiring, independent businesses from across the country.
Now in its ninth year in the UK, Small Business Saturday celebrates small business success and encourages consumers to ‘shop local’ and support businesses in their communities. This year it is calling on the nation to share a ‘big thank you’ with small firms to recognise their vital role throughout the pandemic. Little Beau Sheep has been highlighted on social media as part of the 100-day countdown to Small Business Saturday UK.
Sarah Turner, Director of Little Beau Sheep said: “Small businesses are the backbone of the community in the UK and by celebrating one another’s ventures, we can each fly the flag for the very best of British made goods. This is what being a part of Small Biz 100 is all about.”
Small Business Saturday UK will return on December 4, 2021, following record-breaking success last year, which saw an estimated £1.1 billion spent with small businesses on the day itself.
Michelle Ovens CBE, Director of Small Business Saturday UK, said: “Throughout the crisis we have been reminded of the special role that small firms play in local areas, looking after their customers, communities and the planet. We are excited to be kicking off this year’s campaign to show our thanks to amazing small businesses like Little Beau Sheep. As firms recover from the challenges of the pandemic, we are calling upon everyone to get behind the campaign to make it our most impactful Small Business Saturday yet.”
Small Business Saturday attracts huge attention on the day itself, with an impact that last all year. Last year the campaign trended at number one in the UK on Twitter, with the Prime Minister, leader of the opposition and the Mayor of London among those publicly supporting the campaign.
Over 90 per cent of local councils also supported the campaign.
