In the run-up to Small Business Saturday (2 December), I ran a ‘Small Business Saturday Survey’ on my website to ask residents' to nominate their favourite Wrexham small businesses. I wanted to thank the many residents who took the time to shine a light on the wonderful small businesses in Wrexham. It was heart-warming to see everyone spreading their appreciation and support for our local small business heroes.
Whilst every entry deserved to win, I was proud to give all of the nominated small businesses a social media spotlight to share their contributions to our local community. The business that received the most votes was the mother-daughter family-owned business, Making Memories and Scents! Last Friday, I was delighted to pop down to visit the owners, Michelle and her daughter Stephanie, and award them with a bottle of House of Commons champagne. As we rapidly approach Christmas, I highly recommend residents pop down to try their soy wax, candles and personalised gifts!
