Businesses Still Thriving in Essex
Looking around many high streets throughout England, you’d be forgiven for thinking that small businesses can no longer compete and afford to stay open.
The influx of smaller branches of Tesco’s (such as Rayleigh), and other big brand supermarkets that can afford to stock loss leaders just to get people through the door compounds the issue. There is however still hope for the small businesses of Essex.
Below are some recent stories of successful local businesses and an insight to their dreams and visions:
