60 Jobs Created in Perth with Opening of New B&M Store

The long awaited opening of a B&M Store & Garden Centre in Perth has created more than 60 jobs for local people.

The new store, located at St Catherine’s Retail Park, is much larger than the previous unit, with over 32,000 sq. ft of sales space and the addition of a brand new Garden Centre selling hundreds of plant varieties and gardening essentials.

The new colleagues were asked to nominate a local charity they think truly deserves some VIP treatment for the work they do for the local community. They chose the team from PKAVS charity to take centre stage and officially unveil the new B&M store this morning.

PKAVS is a small charity based in Perth working to improve lives and connect communities by providing person-centred support, working in partnership with local and national bodies, and connecting with, and across, the communities within the area.

In addition to opening the store, the team received £250 worth of B&M vouchers which will go towards helping the charity to continue their great work.

The store manager, George Khouzam said: “It was really exciting to welcome customers through the doors this morning, the feedback so far has been fantastic.”

“A big thank you to the team at PKAVS who helped us open the store, we hope that our donation can help them to continue to do the great work they do in supporting the local people.”
