19th October 2020
Saturday 5th December will be Small Business Saturday. Now in its eight year in the UK, the campaign has grown significantly each year with an estimated £800m spent in small businesses across the UK on 2019’s Small Business Saturday, with a record turnout of 17.6 million people choosing to shop small on the day.
