New B&M store to open at Crescent Link Retail Park
The former Toys R Us store has undergone an internal and external refurbishment programme and created 50 jobs for local people.
The new colleagues were asked to nominate a local charity they think truly deserves some VIP treatment for the work they do for the local community.

The charity was set up in 2016 to celebrate the memory of Lisa Orsi. Lisa collapsed and sadly died at the age of 22 after falling ill on a volcano trek in Indonesia in 2015.
The charity aims to help young people feel included through sport activities.
In addition to opening the new store, the representatives also received £250 worth of B&M vouchers as a thank you for taking part and for all their hard work in the local area.
