Somerset Mobility and Stairlifts, based in Wellington, is setting up shop in a new venue.

The scooter and stairlift shop operated from 6 Lancer Court, just off the High Street. But in a search for a new spacious premises, owner Richard Slater has settled on a new home.

Mr Slater is now taking his business next door to 7 Lancer Court, where he will be occupying the recently vacated Wellington Boots shoe shop.

Wellington Boots closed last month following a slump in trade, leaving the store empty.

On Tuesday Mr Slater was busy making preparations for the opening of his new shop, which was seen already filling up with stock.

The business is currently looking to employ an apprentice and a full-time sales assistant.

A job advert posted to social media called for a candidate who was trustworthy and had a good sense of humour.
