Good luck for the national final!

Two Leighton Buzzard market traders have made it through to the national finals of the NMTF Young Trader of the Year Competition.

Craft market trader, Rebekka Johnson, with her handmade stationery business, The Little Print Box, won a ‘Highly Commended’ at the regional final of the contest in Bury St Edmunds on July 27.

Rebekka will now be trading at the national final of the competition in Stratford-Upon-Avon on August 26-27. She is pictured with Mayor Councillor Kharawala who attended the regional final to support Leighton Buzzard’s local traders.
