WILKO, CHAPS


Great to see the Wilkinson store duly opened yesterday, bringing 70-plus new jobs to the town. You can read a full, illustrated report of the official launch at the Cary Lane premises in the Scunthorpe Telegraph today.
Our Brigg Blog picture shows Brigg LIVES First Responders receiving a £400 cheque from the firm to mark the opening.
Left to right: Becky Griffiths, Brian Parker (LIVES' fundraiser), Adam Leaning (store manager), Julie Woodliffe (first responder), Simon Lowe, Karin Swann (non-executive family director, Wilkinson) and Tanya Anderson.

Love to see all these jobs come in, BUT and the big BUT will these jobs last. Its happend before in other towns i bet you will be quick to blank it when happens tho

going to love to see what happens to the local shops and market once they all close and move on

having spoken to all them and there regulars they all feel they have been stabbed in the back
