Jiggi Mobile Barbershop, founded by Jignesh Madhavji from Bolton in June last year, has made it to the UK Small Business Saturday campaign's top 100 list.

The company offers doorstep haircuts, saving customers time and hassle.

Following a national search, it was selected as part of the SmallBiz100 line-up, which showcases “impressive independent businesses from across the UK”.

The Small Business Saturday campaign has been running for over 10 years and aims to celebrate and support small businesses, encouraging consumers to 'shop local' and support local businesses.

Jiggi Mobile Barbershop was featured in a campaign on 30th September as part of the 100 day countdown to UK Small Business Saturday on 7th December.

Michelle Ovens CBE, director of Small Business Saturday UK, said: “It’s great to celebrate Jiggi Mobile Barbershop as part of this year’s campaign.

“This year’s SmallBiz100 list shows the huge contribution that small and medium-sized businesses make to their local communities and the wider UK economy.

“Despite the economy turning a corner, the nation's small and medium-sized businesses continue to feel the aftermath of several difficult years and still need significant support to get back on their feet.

“Small Business Saturday is all about showing love for local businesses nationally.”

Small Business Saturday is a grassroots, not-for-profit campaign that supports and celebrates the UK's 5.5 million small businesses.

It was founded by American Express in the US in 2010 and has been operating in the UK since 2013.

Small Business Saturday will help customers across the UK support small businesses of all types, from independent shops and restaurants to small services and B2B businesses such as accountants and plumbers.

Many small businesses take an active role in promoting this day by hosting events and offering promotions.

Since its launch in the UK in 2013, the campaign has impacted millions of people and spent billions of dollars for small and medium-sized businesses.

Last year, the campaign received support from the Prime Minister, the Mayor of London and the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
