A new Peacocks shop is to open soon in Sidmouth town centre - and the company is looking for a store manager and staff.

The value fashion chain is preparing to open a branch in the former M&Co premises in the High Street. M&Co closed in April this year and soon afterwards it was reported that Peacocks would be moving into around 20 of the better trading M&Co stores.

At the Sidmouth High Street branch the new Peacocks frontage has gone up and the interior is being refurbished.

There's also a poster on display advertising vacancies for a manager, supervisors and sales colleagues.

No date has been given for the opening, but the Peacocks website lists the Sidmouth branch as 'coming soon'.

Anyone interested in the job vacancies is asked to send their CV to katie.aprea@peacocks.co.uk
