"We aim to provide the friendly, helpful service that the large retailers tend to neglect."

The products stocked include washing machines, dishwashers, tumble dryers, refrigeration including American style fridge freezers, cookers and ovens.

Mr Loveridge is a qualified gas safe engineer and can also install gas appliances, as well as repair and service boilers and gas cooking appliances.

Sales executive Nick said: "Since joining the team, we have been able to push the boundaries and help our customers, new and old, in a more efficient way.
