FAST-GROWING retailer B&M has created 65 jobs in Yeading. The finishing touches are currently being made to the former Comet store on the Willow Tree Lane retail park.

It opens on Saturday, May 2, at 9am and a deserving member of the community will have the chance to be a VIP for the morning.

The search is on for a local hero to open the new B&M Home Store in Glencoe Road.

Heroes can be nominated by friends, family or work colleagues and could be someone who makes life better for people in the area, works hard for a particular cause or is renowned for charity work.

Ben Gough, store manager at B&M Yeading said: “We wanted a true VIP to officially open our new store - and what better way than to ask customers to nominate those who make a real difference to people’s lives in and around Yeading.

“We’re not judging by age or the type of support. We just want someone who goes that extra mile and who we can give something back to for a change.”

Nominations are being accepted up to Friday, April 24, and can be e-mailed to communications@bmstores.co.uk or posted to Yeading Local Hero Search, B&M Retail LTD. Dakota Drive, Estuary Commerce Park, Speke, Liverpool L24 8RJ.

The winner will also receive £250 worth of vouchers to spend in store.
