Director Charlie Turner said: “The implementation of our new software has been a significant investment for us, but in the long run it will ensure that Sam Turner’s will be able to thrive in an ever-demanding retail sector.
“Our previous system was designed over 30 years ago, and this truly brings us into the digital age.
“From purchasing to stock management, it will allow us to be much smarter in every aspect of our business, dedicating our focus on delivering the excellent customer service and competitive pricing that Sam Turner’s is known for.”

Web manager Dene Goodwin said: “sam-turner.co.uk has seen significant growth over the last five years, and it was clear that we had outgrown our previous surroundings.
