We were joined by over 210 local businesses at Hallam Hall on Wednesday 8 October for the second Become a Supplier event, an informative session designed to help Sheffield businesses connect with public sector buyers and explore opportunities to work with local organisations.
Showcasing 27 small businesses, the Launchpad Pop-Up Store celebrates Sheffield’s independent spirit, bringing together early-stage makers to showcase their work and connect with the community. You’ll find handmade gifts, sustainable products and unique items perfect for the festive season.
"With Sheffield it’s a little bit different. You get close to Sheffield and realise things are going on, it feels like it’s on the cusp of starting to really explode, and it’s exciting to be in at this point.”
Hear from Sally Pepper on how the shift towards shopping local presents some challenges for retail businesses to tackle.
