RESIDENTS across Bromsgrove and the villages can now vote for their favourite small business as part of Bradley Thomas MP’s inaugural awards.

Ahead of this year’s Small Business Saturday on December 7, Bradley is celebrating the contribution small businesses make to our economy and to our communities.

As part of his Small Business Awards, during the month of October businesses across the constituency put themselves forward for the public vote to be in with a chance of winning a Small Business Award.

100 nominations have been received and now residents can vote for their favourite small business in Bromsgrove and the Villages.

Voting is open until Friday, November 29. Each resident can vote only once and you must live in the constituency.

The winners of Bradley’s inaugural awards will be revealed ahead of Small Business Saturday.

Mr Thomas said: “Small businesses aren’t just the backbone of our economy, they’re also at the heart of their communities.

“It’s my intention as the local MP to champion our small businesses, and as part of that work I have launched my inaugural Small Business Awards.

“I’m encouraging residents across Bromsgrove and the Villages to vote for their favourite small business.

“Best of luck to all the businesses taking part.”
