In this time of economic uncertainty, it is great that we are able to create jobs and help people get back into work. The quality of applicants was fantastic and I am delighted with my new team.
“We are all really excited and cannot wait to open our doors. We will strive to offer great value for money with fantastic customer service for people living or working in the area who want a convenient place to shop for all their household and family needs.
“My colleagues and I are looking forward to welcoming our customers into the new store and we hope that Tesco will become a key part of the local community.”
