By doing this, we can also uncover important insights to ensure best practice is shared more widely across towns to help boost our businesses and high streets.” As a passionate advocate for retail, I’m excited by the prospect of identifying more stand-out examples of where towns are supporting businesses, and the people that help communities up and down the country to thrive. We hope that by championing our local business and communities, we can showcase the many advantages that come from fostering growth and prosperity locally.” Helen Dickinson, Chief Executive of the British Retail Consortium, said: “I am delighted to be partnering with Visa on this brilliant opportunity to celebrate the diversity of our towns and highlight what makes them great places to live and work. We believe it’s time to put towns centre-stage. That includes the local economies created in our towns home to a rich diversity of independent businesses operating alongside major brands, restaurants, cafes and retailers. On initial publication of the shortlist, Mandy Lamb, Managing Director UK & Ireland, Visa, commented: “At Visa, we believe that economies that include everyone everywhere, uplift everyone everywhere. These projects not only showcase what makes our towns unique but also demonstrates how towns are adapting to new challenges and opportunities in a rapidly changing environment, as well as actively encouraging the adoption of best practice across the nation. The initiative highlighted a range of exciting initiatives, including business and council partnerships to drive investment, and local mentoring to support local businesses throughout the UK. The towns will now receive up to £20,000 of direct investment into a local community project or initiative and receive a dedicated programme of support for local businesses. ![]()
