Salisbury's independent businesses are being celebrated this week and we're being encouraged to show our support for them.

The city's Business Improvement District say they're the lifeblood of our community.

The push for us to shop local comes during Indies Week, running through until Sunday 7th July.

Robin McGowan, Chief Executive of Salisbury BID, said:

"Salisbury's independent retailers offer a unique and diverse range of products and services, and by choosing to shop local, we contribute to the sustainability and growth of our high street.

"Indies Week provides a wonderful opportunity to celebrate these businesses and our continuing City of Independents campaign will strive to showcase Salisbury as a thriving home of so many successful independents."

Rachel Tribbeck, owner of H R Tribbeck & Son jewellers on Bridge Street, who have been in business in Salisbury since 1905, said:

"As an indie business owner in Salisbury, I am proud to be part of the City of Independents campaign. This initiative showcases the tremendous talent, creativity, and hard work that goes into running an independent business.

"By supporting our local independents, we not only invest in our community but also ensure the longevity and success of unique enterprises that make Salisbury truly special."
