THIS weekend, we can join the annual celebration of small business and promote diversity in our local high streets by taking part in Independents’ Day UK. By choosing to “stay local, pledge a few pounds and support our small shops”, we will be valuing independent retailers that give Glasgow its distinct character. We have seen incredibly versatile independent retailers offering increased choices, a range of products and services, and a more personal service in response to the pandemic. Independent retailers have found solutions to any number of problems that have come their way as they responded to the Covid crisis.
