WAITROSE Food & Home in Salisbury has a new manager.

Chris Blows (45), who comes to the city from Hertfordshire, aims to develop the store's links with the community.

He started with the company as a management trainee and says he is delighted to be managing the largest Waitrose supermarket in the country.

"I know the Salisbury and New Forest areas reasonably well as I came here for holidays as a small boy in the 60s," he said.
