The benefits of building relationships

In 2018, this magazine launched the Bring Back a Billion, But it in Lancashire campaign.

One of the key benefits of buying from local suppliers is keeping money flowing around the local economy. There are around 50,000 businesses in the area, spending a total of £30bn each year. Serious numbers.

And another benefit, every bit as important, is the opportunity to buy from people you know. This county has a fantastic business community, populated by fine Lancashire folk (native and adopted) that appreciate the value of mixing hard, honest work with personality and a positive attitude.
