Keep it Cornish
Please note this campaign is not currently active.
Keep it Cornish is about helping Cornwall to bounce forward after lockdown by working together to keep money in Cornwall - and attracting more trade in.
It's also a place for Cornwall's businesses to swap ideas on adapting to the new normal post-lockdown, access training and find the best places to get advice.
Let's help Cornwall accelerate out of the pandemic by choosing Cornish. Let's shop and do business in a more sustainable way - being aware of how production miles affect our carbon footprint. Let's be proud and spread the word about our award winning and accredited Cornish products and services.

Keeping Cornish gardens and gardeners refreshed!
Gardening has never been more important to body, mind and soul and so, Bodmin Nursery has worked tirelessly throughout lock-down to get plants, compost & garden sundries to those who needed them. As a local grower, the nursery had all the stock it needed, the challenge was to reach customers in a new way. So, our unfuloughed team manned the phones, worked through emails and production assistants morphed into delivery drivers! Our wonderful customers have cheered us on all the way both during lock-down and once re-open. Bodmin Nursery continues to offer a delivery service to those in need as... Continue reading

Clean-Mist – Helping other Cornish Companies Function Safely
Hygiene has always been important for businesses throughout Cornwall however the Coronavirus pandemic has really brought it to the forefront of people’s attention.

The Pen Mightier than the Sword for Porthleven Copywriter
What happens to you when your business primarily revolves around creating content for events, but events are no longer happening?
Suzie Inman of Mightier Words has found that out for herself over the past few months. Inman, who lends her copywriting and communications skills to Porthleven’s Food Festival amongst others, has seen a significant dent lodged in her work over what would usually be the busiest period for events and outdoor activities across Cornwall.
“Porthleven Food Festival took the decision six weeks before the festival to cancel, even before the government lockdown commenced, as we could see it coming. That... Continue reading

I thought I would have to close ! How wrong Could I have been!
I run Lucy Locket's Studio a travelling handmade gift shop based in a caravan touring shows with my blue van and handmade gifts, well at least that was the plan for 2020!
I'd been trading for a few years and doing quite well at fairs and events, just taking along a table, the problem was if it rained! I had lost so many items due to them getting damp so that got my thinking, what if I bought a caravan converted it inside and fitted it out as a shop? I did just that and opened weekends on the farm... Continue reading
