Chichester district residents have been asked to vote for their favourite family business.

Residents and visitors are being asked to nominate their favourites as part of a national campaign being run by Shopappy, an online shopping platform that can be used to browse and buy products and services from local businesses.

Nomination­s need to be made by June 12 and each person nominating will be entered into a free prize draw to win £50 to spend on Shopappy.com or Shoplocalo­nline.org.

One business will be selected by a panel of judges to receive a profession­al photograph­y session for their family and an award as the UK'S Favourite Family Business. The winner will be announced on June 27.

People can find out more and nominate their favourite business at: shopappy.com/ family-business

Chichester District Council

is paying for local businesses to join the platform until March 2023, using a government grant. The Shopappy website has already launched in Chichester and will launch in Midhurst, Selsey, East Wittering and Petworth over the coming months.

Councillor Tony Dignum, cabinet member for growth, place and regenerati­on at Chichester District Council, said: “We know how many excellent family businesses we have in the district and so we want to encourage residents and visitors to nominate them for this award.”
