A total of seven jobs have been filled in addition to the 34 workers already employed at the store on Keyway Retail Park.

The store re-opened at 9am yesterday after being closed on April 7 for the makeover.

The new colleagues were asked to nominate a local charity they think deserves VIP treatment for the work they do for the local community. They chose the team from Acorn Hospice who took to centre stage to unveil the new B&M store, alongside the Lord Mayor, Councillor Paul Bott and Mayoress, Councillor Chris Bott.

In addition to opening the new store, the team will also receive £250 worth of B&M vouchers to go towards the charity.

The store manager, Marthy Senior, said: “The team from Acorn Hospice really stood out for us as they go the extra mile for local children in the community, we wanted to give them some VIP treatment as a thank you for all the hard work they do.

“We hope that our donation can help them to continue the great work they do.

“Our new colleagues have been working really hard to get the store ready for opening day, we can’t wait to get the doors open on Friday and show customers their brand new B&M.”
