"We all thrive, when the collective thrives"
Local makers bring their personal experiences, skills and original ideas to their products. Goods and services are thought out, created with care and more often than not, made with quality materials.
Care is put into not just their products but their customer service; which is often personalised. These are your neighbours, friends and families, people putting everything they have into seeing their dreams become reality.
And lastly what goes around, comes around. Local businesses support local charities, sports teams and events. They support community wellbeing and help create jobs and local prosperity.
