Bhs has appointed a manager for its new store in the Union Arcade, Bury.

Nigel Owens, aged 36, who is originally from Lincolnshire, will be in charge of a team of nearly 70 when it opens in September.

Mr Owens, who joined Bhs 16 years ago, has worked throughout the UK.

He comes to Bury after a spell as manager of the company's store in Rochdale.

When he is not working, Mr Owens enjoys canoeing, walking, spending time with his family and supporting Newcastle United.

The new Bhs will occupy a sales area of about 18,510 square feet.
