ONE of the UK's top clothes stores for women is to come to Redditch.

Principles is to be one of the concessions setting up in the town's new Debenhams department store, due to open at the end of October or beginning of November.

The news comes as another store coming to Redditch, high street retailer Wilkinson, reveals it has had an unprecedented response since it advertised job vacancies.

Helped by Redditch JobCentre, Wilkinson team members have been kept busy handing out more than 600 application forms for just 85 new jobs on offer.

Wilkinson opens its door in the Kingfisher Centre in September selling 25,000 products, including kitchenware, clothing, household disposables, confectionery and seasonal goods.
