A Nantwich entrepreneur has launched a new “Support Nantwich” initiative designed to help independent businesses during the COVID-19 lockdown.<\/p>\n

Digital marketeer Will Dolby said the not-for-profit scheme is based on a system used in New Zealand.<\/p>\n

It allows people to buy vouchers that can be redeemed once lockdown is lifted and outlets can open again.<\/p>\n

It’s hoped this will help independent shops, cafes, restaurants and other businesses survive the ongoing closure.<\/p>\n

The scheme is free for businesses to sign up to, and they receive the full value of the voucher, minus credit card fees charged by website provider Shopify.<\/p>\n

Will said: “I’m not doing this to make money, I simply want to help local independents to survive these challenging times.<\/p>\n

“I took inspiration from a similar initiative in New Zealand that has had huge success across the country.<\/p>\n

“I thought it would be a great way to support the town I’ve grown up in.<\/p>\n

“I’ve always appreciated the independent cafes, restaurants and shops that we have in the town and would hate to see them struggle or go out of business.”<\/p>\n

Will runs his own online business on the side.<\/p>\n

“I know if I ran a store with a physical presence, I’d be looking for all the support I could get.”<\/p>\n

He has two independent restaurants signed up – St Martha and Churche’s Mansion – and is calling on more to register and take advantage.<\/p>\n

“We’re not limited to restaurants though,” he added.<\/p>\n

“Essentially we’re looking for any business that can benefit from extra cashflow in these times (and can work with
\nvouchers) to sign up – shops, cafes, bars, restaurants, salons, hairdressers.”<\/p>\n
