Store manager Chris Pettinger managed to take a break from helping Christmas shoppers for a couple of minutes to say how proud he is of his staff and their achievements.

"We have 260 colleagues and a good 30-35 of them have been here for the whole 15 years so we have done presentations to them as well," he said.
