Following the renovation, Store Manager Penny Barr, said: "It’s a really lovely space, and the designers have made it a really enjoyable space for us to work in.

"But more importantly, they’ve created an interesting space that customers want to come and shop in.

"Everyone keeps giving us great feedback - saying how much they love the layout and how much more spacious it feels."
