THE Courier can exclusively reveal that plans are being made to enlist the advice of Mary Portas "Queen of Shops" to help rejuvenate independent trading businesses and shops in Crediton High Street. The retail expert is back with a new TV series offering help to independent shops and businesses in Crediton and already some businesses are considering signing up to take part. Optomen Television, the BAFTA-winning TV production company behind shows such as "The Great British Menu" and Heston Blumenthal's "Feast", will be making the series that will see Mary offer her unique insight, ideas and expertise on the customer experience. The show's producers are currently looking for independent retailers in the Crediton area that could benefit from her help. They are keen to hear from any business owners or managers who would like fresh ideas to bring more customers through the door and put money in the till.
