The independent food & drink sector is different - from the way they trade, to where they trade from to the products they sell. We are adaptable and true entrepreneurs.
Now is the time for government, both national and local to be open minded about the future… We want to stop just surviving and to be able to thrive again, but to do so we will need the help of government; help to trade and enough working capital to get us to the starting line.
Empower your independent businesses - follow, share and shout about our campaign and help the independent sector bounce back. Tag Boris Johnson, Rishi Sunak Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, Paul Scully MP, Oliver Dowden, Nigel Huddleston MP and your local MP in your posts.
We will be releasing assets for your to share and more information over the next 2 days so keep an eye on our social channels. Meanwhile. read more about why we've launched our new campaign:
