Chester small business celebrated at House of Lords

ePay Merchant Services was one of the small businesses invited to join a special reception at the House of Lords, to celebrate Small Business Saturday 2023.

The campaign celebrates small business success and encourages people to ‘shop local’ and support businesses in their communities.

Hosted by Small Business Saturday, the event at parliament honoured ePay Merchant Services as part of this year’s SmallBiz100.

The SmallBiz100 is a line-up of 100 brilliant small businesses from all over the country, which have been spotlighted in the leadup to Small Business Saturday.

ePay Merchant Services was featured in recognition of their inspiring entrepreneurial journey, which has seen them growing their own business, supporting others and putting Cheshire on the map.

Sam Cameron, Co-Founder of ePay, said: “We are delighted to be chosen as one of the Small Biz 100. We have enjoyed meeting other small business owners.”

Small business owners from this year’s SmallBiz100 line-up and MPs from across the political spectrum came together at the reception, with the Shadow Secretary of State for Business and Industrial Strategy

Jonathan Reynolds speaking at the event and meeting many entrepreneurs.

Michelle Ovens CBE, Director of Small Business Saturday UK, said: “We really enjoyed hosting this special event at the House of Lords and marking the success of ePay Merchant Services, as well as seeing Small Business Saturday into its second decade in the UK.

On Small Business Saturday, customers across the UK go out and support all types of small businesses, online, in offices and in stores; from independent shops and restaurants to small service and b2b businesses like accountants and plumbers. Many small businesses celebrate the day by hosting events, offering promotions, and collaborating with other small businesses.”
