Now in its fourth year, the campaign last year saw £623m spent with small businesses across the UK on Small Business Saturday – an increase of £119m or 24% on the previous year.

The campaign trended at number one in the UK on Twitter on the day with more than 100,000 campaign-related tweets, as well as over 75% of local councils supporting the campaign.

Michelle Ovens, campaign director, said: “The British public has a great affection for small businesses and we continue to see that grow year on year. Small Business Saturday is an exceptional example of collaboration and co-operation with small businesses teaming up in communities around the UK.

“Although the campaign focuses on one day, the goal is to have a lasting impact on small businesses by changing mindsets, so that people make it their mission to support small businesses all year round.”

The grassroots, not-for-profit campaign, was originally founded by American Express in the US in 2010 and it remains the principal supporter of the campaign in the UK.
