Emily Queen, city and towns manager at Perth and Kinross Council said: “We’re thrilled to bring the Great Gift Card Giveaway to Perth once more in time for Scotland Loves Local Week. This year, the theme of Scotland Loves Local Week is flying the flag for local businesses, and that is exactly what the Perth City & Towns Gift Card does, giving people the choice of over 200 amazing businesses in Perth and surrounding towns through one gift card. Importantly, as every card has to be spent locally, every Perth City & Towns Gift Card equals ring-fenced local spend for our business community.”
A raft of new businesses have joined the Perth City & Towns Gift Card including The Italian Corner in Perth, Cornerstone Deli and Regeneration Station Hobby Shop in Blairgowrie, and Broadslap Farm Shop and Café in Dunning following the appointment of Jamie Corkery as merchant engagement ambassador for the Scotland Loves Local Gift Card.
