The fantastic reasons why we should all think, choose and spend locally to build a stronger future were showcased superbly at the Scotland’s Towns Conference.
The Scotland Loves Local Town Square was among the highlights of the event – highlighting the many businesses and organisations that make communities across the country so special, as well as the specialist support available to help the drive towards sustainability and success.
CentreStage in Kilmarnock was bustling as conference delegates found out more about the exhibitors.
And there was, of course, a special focus on East Ayrshire as a number of businesses from across the region took the opportunity to highlight what makes the area so special.
The huge potential of the Scotland Loves Local Gift Card as a power for good and economic growth in communities across the country was also highlighted.
During the countdown to Christmas, shoppers and businesses are being urged to embrace the cards in their area as a means to buy, gift and use as corporate rewards.
