We believe that it’s really important that all businesses are active in their local community. By this we mean promoting and purchasing from local businesses, shopping locally, and supporting local charities and initiatives that benefit the community. Why? Well, from our point of view it’s because we get so much from being part of our community. We love it and relish the interaction with others nearby.
Over the years, we’ve discovered that when our community is thriving, people feel good – and are likely to feel confident to spend – which helps our clients and strengthens our business relationship. And it boosts our reputation of being fantastic human beings who are great to do business with.
In short, supporting local business is good for our business – and it makes us feel great. Win/Win.
MCL Accountants are doing their bit both before lockdown and in the aftermath of Covid19. We have always used Southend High Street or Leigh-on-sea broadway for our retail excursions and coffees with colleagues and clients. Did you know that we’re the main sponsors for Westcliff-on-sea cricket club too? And that we actively recommend local businesses to our clients in need of their services? It’s how we’ve built our reputation, how we’ve won new business – and how we’ve helped many of our clients grow their businesses too.
You will be amazed by how much you will benefit, as an individual or a business, when you support your local community. There are countless reasons, some of which we’ve touched on already, but here are a few more:
