The search is on to find South Shropshire's best small businesses. Stuart Anderson MP is inviting residents across the constituency to nominate their favourite business and let him know the reason why. A survey has also been launched to gather the views of South Shropshire’s more than 5,000 small businesses and traders, defined as those employing up to 50 people. Stuart wants to make South Shropshire one of the best places in the country to start and grow a business. He has said that he wants to better understand the needs and concerns of the local business community to inform his work in Parliament when advocating for more support to drive local economic growth.
Stuart has added that returns to his survey will contribute towards the creation of a local business directory, making it easier for residents to shop locally and support small businesses across South Shropshire. It is part of Stuart's campaign to unleash rural prosperity by engaging with local businesses and communities, securing investment and reform to unlock local growth, and raising the profile of South Shropshire's industry. Stuart added that everyone can show their support for small businesses and that it doesn’t just mean spending; endorsements, reviews and promotions can hugely benefit small businesses in South Shropshire too.
