A STAPLE Hill shop has been named as one of the country’s 100 most impressive small firms.
Nom Wholefoods in Broad Street has been selected as part of this year’s SmallBiz100 line-up by the Small Business Saturday UK campaign.
The campaign aims to encourage people to support for small businesses and ‘shop local’ in the run-up to Small Business Saturday on December 7.
Nom Wholefoods is a refill shop which helps reduce plastic waste by providing loose food, cleaning and bathroom products.
It was founded by Nikki Watten in 2019 and opened on Broad Street in 2021.
Nikki said: “I’m over the moon to be selected as one of the SmallBiz100 line-up.
“Small Business Saturday coincides with our community event Christmas on the Hill, which makes for a fantastic day to be shopping local and supporting local businesses in Staple Hill.”
Small Business Saturday UK director Michelle Ovens said: “This year’s SmallBiz100 list shows the huge contribution small businesses make to their communities and the wider UK economy.
“Despite the economy turning a corner, the nation’s small businesses continue to feel the fallout of a challenging few years and still need significant support to get back on their feet.”
