Lovely Staff and Very Helpful

The staff at Alan Howard in Wigan are lovely and very helpful. I always feel welcome and they give of their time to advise (if needed). Karen, and other staff, order items in for me if it’s not in store and it’s delivered quickly. I also have a laugh with the team when I’m shopping as they are very friendly. Great place.

Regards, Dr Mark Edward.
