"I am very happy they have chosen Batley after reviewing a number of sites to set up their first Furniture, Home & Lifestyle Centre outside of Lancashire and we welcome their introduction.

"Further outlet enhancements will be completed with the opening of our new Garden Centre offer due to be open for business during May.
