THE Ardrossan and Saltcoats Herald today backs local business - and we need your help to showcase the best the town has to offer.

We are asking businesses across the town to get involved in our Ayrshire Loves Local Business campaign which includes a listings supplement in the Ardrossan and Saltcoats Herald.

In our upcoming special supplement, businesses across the town have a chance to get their name known amongst the townies by submitting their details for a free listing.

So whether you are a butcher that has been selling meat in Ardrossan and Saltcoats for two decades or a new beauty salon in town having to adapt for a post lockdown world, we want to hear from you.

To get involved, simply fill in our online questionnaire.

You can access the link here.

Meanwhile, in the coming weeks, we will shine the spotlight on those businesses that matter to local communities - and explain why you should support them.

To get involved in ourAyrshire Loves Local Businesses campaign and share your story, simply visit our website and fill in our business profile form.

Don't forget important details like the name of your business and how long you have been operating for.

We also want to know how much your business has suffered during lockdown and the changes you have had to make to adhere to health and safety requirements during an ongoing world pandemic.

Finally, tell us why people should support you and why they should buy locally.

You can answer all the questions for our business profile story here.
