Buy Local

It's onward and upward as local businesses strive forward through the economic downturn!

Despite all the doom and gloom reported in the media around the issues businesses are facing in the recession, buy local is proud to report a boost in local business owners coming forward to join with other like-minded businesses.

buy local measures how local its members actually are through its accreditation process, enabling the people of Norfolk to be reassured that buy local businesses are truly independent, based in Norfolk and in turn support and use other independent Norfolk businesses.

Latest members include: Frank Spurgeon Ltd, local butchers and winner of the 2009 Battle of the Bangers title, with branches in Harleston, Brooke, Norwich & Long Stratton and Bennett's Electrical Retailers who were awarded the prestigious title of Best Large Independent Electrical Retailer - Consumer Electronics  in 2008 by The Independent Retailer magazine, with branches in Great Yarmouth, Norwich, Dereham, Diss & Holt.

With a diverse offering of businesses coming together in this way and a growing member to member discount scheme, the benefits of joining are greater than ever.
