Buying Locally

Written 11/10/16

As the saying goes: think globally, buy locally and as a business working on the Internet with users and customers coming into our server from around the world we are always thinking globally but we are trying not to forget the "buy locally" part.

With that in mind, now that we've moved The Hug to Nairn in North East Scotland we have joined Buy North East, and committed to purchasing from local suppliers whenever possible.

In the first instance this is simple items like stationery and we've already been using shops on Nairn high street for that. The next step will be a new office chair so we will probably be heading into Inverness to one of the office supplies companies there.

Not that this means we won't still be using the Web for some purchases: there are some things which are hard to source locally, especially when they're a bit specialist, but we are doing our best to purchase locally whenever possible.
