Chegworth Valley was invited to represent the UK’s 5.2 million small businesses in Downing Street on Friday to mark the UK’s second Small Business Saturday the following day – on December 6th – when small, independent businesses in communities across the country were put in the national spotlight.
The launch, to which just under 100 businesses were invited, took the form of a Christmas market outside Number 10 – something that has never been done before. Just a handful of businesses were invited to showcase their speciality, with Chegworth Valley offering tastings of their hot spiced apple juice, Winter Warmer, to specially invited visitors.
Both George Osborne and Karren Brady attended the event, with Mr Osborne commenting that he “knows Chegworth well” as a regular visitor to their London shops. Karren Brady also followed up with the following tweet “Great to meet Linda from @Chegworthvalley at the @SmallBizSatUK Downing St Christmas Fair with @George_Osborne”.
Chegworth Valley is a family owned & run farm situated in the heart of the Kent countryside. With shops at the famous Borough Market and at 221 Kensington Church Street their produce & juices have a strong following both within London and across the country. The full range of fresh produce and juices, including Winter Warmer offered at Downing Street are available from their own shops, selected independent outlets and online at www.chegworthvalley.com.
