Louisa Valvano, Director yourbrandspace.com, remarks: ‘Encouraging and helping independent retailers is what yourbrandspace.com is all about. Aiding the growth of the independent retail sector is vital in helping small businesses to thrive, so we are thrilled to partner with Independent Retailer Month 2012.’
