As we fly into December with Christmas just around the corner, Northern Ireland's business landscape shows no signs of slowing down. From exciting local launches to standout success stories, this week has been full of energy and entrepreneurial spirit.

Our Love Your Local spotlight features Papas Mineral Company, where founder Wayne Adair transformed a childhood love of homemade ginger wine into a thriving 26-year craft beverage journey. Today, Papas is known for its hand-crafted cordials, small-batch sodas, and award-winning flavours that bottle up pure nostalgia. 

We're also keeping the good vibes flowing with more feel-good stories, community wins, and festive business buzz as the year winds down.

As always, I'd love hearing from our readers! Got a story, a tip, or a local business worth celebrating? Drop me a message....

Keep safe
