Once the 100 businesses were selected, one business is being promoted every day through the Small Business Saturday website.

“We were promoted on 30 October so information about the business and what we do was included on the website and things so that has gained some promotion for us,” added Ruth.

Ruth has also been invited to go to 10 Downing Street as part of the event. She said: “The 100 businesses all get invited to Downing Street so I am going there on Friday 5 December so I am really looking forward to that.”

On Saturday 6 December, Ruth will be holding an Open Business event which will take place at Number One Riverside. The event will see Ruth offering free accountancy advice to those who need it.

Promoting Small Business Saturday, which takes place on Saturday 6 December, Ruth said: “I think people should shop with small businesses not only on Small Business Saturday but every day because they care. My clients matter to me and it is because of them that I have a business so I really do have an affection for them.”
