THE longest serving member of staff at Dorothy Perkins, Warminster, has reopened the new-look shop.

Sandra Twitchen has been a sales adviser for eight-and-a-half years and was delighted to be invited to cut the ribbon.

The Warminster branch of Dorothy Perkins was destroyed by a fire last December, but is now back in the Market Place looking better than ever.

Mrs Twitchen said: "It's nice to be back and the shop's new image is really nice. Everything has been updated, but we are still offering the same great range of women's clothes."

"I've stayed with Dorothy Perkins, as I enjoy working in women's fashion."

As well as a new look, the store has a new manager. Anne Tilley has moved from Northwich in Cheshire to take over.

She said: "We've had a fabulous reaction since reopening, and the shop is busier than ever."
