THE high street in Royal Wootton Bassett received a boost with the opening of a new store.

Dream Doors opened a new showroom last week,with the franchise being managed by Ian Sturton offering kitchen makeovers.

The firm was established in Hampshire in 1999 and now has more than 50 locally-owned franchised showrooms throughout the country.

The Royal Wootton Bassett franchise is the first to cover the SN postcode area.

And Ian said he was looking forward to opening up in Wiltshire.

“I’ve visited plenty of businesses in my time, and this is definitely the most professional and well-run franchise I’ve ever seen,” he said.

“It offers the best of both worlds for customers; they’re buying from a national brand that’s won numerous awards and built a fantastic reputation, but they’re also dealing with a local business owner who has their own reputation and livelihood at stake.”
