LOCAL BUSINESS FOR THRIVING COMMUNITIES Welcome to the LEIGH ON SEA local business guide. Small businesses are not only the backbone of our economy but also they are vital to our high street and local communities. Supporting them benefits everyone. You, as the resident, and them as the providers of local products and services. And so we have curated the best businesses from Leigh on Sea, sharing their stories in a hope that next time when you pass by their shop, cafe or premises, you think of those stories and pop in to say hello. Equally, this applies to the various services your local businesses provide, from beauty, flowers to gardening, web design and accounting. Everything you need is on your door step!

Stand out from the crowd with TIN DESIGN Tin Design first launched two years ago primarily as an e-boutique. Differentiating itself from the high street Trudy, the brainchild of Tin Design, selects products that are not only beautiful but also stand out from the crowd. Some of the pieces are almost tongue in cheek and eccentric, making interiors much more fun. Since the success of the website, Trudy has now opened a quirky little shop just off Leigh Broadway, showcasing lots of interesting pieces from mirrors, art, antiques, ornaments and lighting.
