Local MP joins Sandbach Market Traders for 'Love Your Local Market' Fortnight

Sandbach Market Traders are participating in the high profile 'Love Your Local Market' 2016 campaign, with local MP Fiona Bruce lending her support for the event.

Led by the National Association of British Market Authorities, over 1100 markets across the country are taking part with a focus on youth and teenage Markets and Traders. Sandbach Market Traders have hung bunting and balloons in Sandbach Market Hall, with some traders offering special promotions and offers to celebrate.

Alan Smith, Chairman of National Market Traders Federation commented: 'Love Your Local Market Fortnight is a chance to promote our historic market while getting younger generations, such as my son, involved. We are also highlighting the importance that our market plays in the heart of our communities, not only for retail but as valuable community assets that provide a focal point'.

'I'd also like to thank Karl Brown, Sandbach Town Council Operations Manager, in working with us to promote this event'.

Daniel Williams, Chair of the Sandbach Traders and Retailers said: It was great to have Fiona with us to promote 'Love Your Local Market' fortnight. We had a positive and engaging discussion over the future of our Markets, and I'd like to thank her for joining us.

Joe Harrison, Chief Executive, NMTF, commenting on Love Your Local Market and the National Youth: “The NMTF is proud to be working with NABMA to encourage youth entrepreneurship on our nation’s markets. By bringing our campaigns together, we are demonstrating our shared commitment to support the next generation of traders.”

'Love Your Local Market' fortnight runs from May 17th - 31st.
