Samuel Kurtz MS has once again banged the drum for local food and drink producers, following the excellent display by West Walian businesses at the Royal Welsh Winter Fair.
The support comes ahead of Small Business Saturday, which is a grassroots, non-commercial campaign, highlighting small business success and encouraging consumers to 'shop local' and support small businesses in their communities.
Some of the excellent producers on display included Carmarthen Ham, who have PGI status air dried, salt-cured ham, On The Rocks Pembrokeshire, who produce a range of bottled pre-mixed cocktails and The Pembrokeshire Beach Food Company, creators of the award winning Barti rum and cream.
Commenting following the Winter Fair, Samuel Kurtz MS said:
“Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire are rightly lauded for the fantastic food and drink produced in our counties, and I was delighted to see so many of our producers at the Winter Fair.
“West is best when it comes to the range and quality of produce on offer, and I was delighted to champion these fantastic small businesses.
“As we approach Christmas, it is the perfect opportunity to redouble our efforts to support our local businesses. Small Business Saturday is a reminder that our communities are built on the back of entrepreneurs and local businesses who need our support now and throughout the year.”
