Factory Bargain Shop was established by Brian Robinson only three years ago, and has since gone from strength to strength.

He said: "We can offer such genuine great deals as our mark-ups are extremely low. We don't have sales as we have special deals 52 weeks a year.

"As we have such a big facility, we carry a huge range of stock and can deliver all over the region."

Furniture can be bought as a flat pack, or ready-assembled for a pounds 10 charge.
