More than 30 local businesses will come out onto the Market Square for this special showcase day to promote their products and services to new audiences.

Four Counties Insurance one of the participating businesses is urging local residents and businesses to 'Keep Trade Local' following recent research by the British Retail Consortium revealing that, nationally, thousands of small independent shops have been closing at an alarming rate with more than one in 10 shops empty. This is the highest figure since it began collecting data on occupancy levels of high street premises. This also follows data revealing that more than 8 out of 10 of Four Counties Insurance commercial clients trade in or within a commutable distance of one of our local Cambridgeshire offices.
Charles Green, Operations Director at Four Counties Insurance said: “We are participating in and organising local campaigns designed to help firms in their town promote their services and, discuss opportunities which can help their businesses grow.
