A WORKER who joined the supermarket Netto part-time while at college has been named as manager of the chain's latest store.

Simon Theaker will head Netto's new Kidderminster shop, which opened yesterday.

Dad Simon, 27, said: "I've really enjoyed working with the group and I'm looking forward to getting to know some new faces.

"For many people in Kidderminster it will be the first time they have experienced the Netto Smart Shopping experience and we are confident it will be a great success."

The new store, at the junction of Stourport Road and New Road, has created around 15 new jobs.
