A JEWELLER'S shop is looking forward to a sparkling future with a move to a bigger store in Worcester.

H Samuel is moving from The Shambles to the former Next ladies clothes store opposite Woolworth's in the High Street.

The new shop will have a new look and create more jobs.

"A customer usually chooses by looking in the windows of jewellery stores," said manager Elizabeth Watkins.

"This store is the kind normally used in indoor shopping centres in larger cities like Birmingham. There aren't any windows but it has double doors that open across a wide entrance and all the goods are displayed inside."

The shop has been fitted out over the last month and is due to be opened by the Mayor of Worcester Aubrey Tarbuckm at 9.30am on Tuesday, September 27.

There will be a staff of eight and Mrs Watkins said she would also be expecting to employ up to a dozen more people in the run-up to the busy Christmas period.
