HAVING worked there for 27 years, Terry Bulmer was the perfect choice to open the newly refitted Iceland shop in Portchester.

Mr Bulmer did the honours at the West Street store after the £200,000 revamp.

Nationwide, the chain is carrying out a refurbishment programme in all of its 754 stores and also introducing more free home delivery services.

Portchester Iceland store manager Steve Pniok said: "We have listened to our customers to ensure we are offering them exactly what they want.

"The new service makes shopping easier for our customers and the new ranges will offer a great variety in store."
