LOCAL lingerie specialists, Busy Body's, who are currently located in a small, thatched cottage shop in Churchtown Village, on the outskirts of Southport, have announced that they are moving to Liverpool Road, in Birkdale, Merseyside, in February 2016. The clothing store is a growing, family run business with 3 generations working in the shop, along with 2 other employees. All of them will be moving over to the new store and proprietor, Jan Morton, told us:- "We will continue to deliver the personal, professional and detailed services our customers expect from us, but we are sad to leave our home in Churchtown. Sadly, we have outgrown our current shop, so to continue to keep up the standard and to increase our stock, so we have had no choice, but to move on. Don't worry; as this is not until February 2016, and for a short time we will still have the shop here in Churchtown. The village has given us many happy memories and we look forward to welcoming our present customers and also hope to get many more, with our new location. We will continue to help cancer charities, through things like the bra donation bank and via fashion shows. We also hope the move will increase our ability to provide extra help to our customers who have suffered breast cancer. We already have many options available, and by continuing to working with the NHS, we hope to increase these options in the new shop. The success of our small business over the years has been down to our dedicated staff, Lucy, Beryl, and Anne, as well as our many customers, we thank you all. We hope that our success, that's lead to us having to move on, will continue for years to come." Interestingly, the last show of the 2015 session for the shop, which will be held on 26 October 2015, at Lansdowne Bistro, Southport has sold out. As with many of their fashion shows, all funds raised will go to charity, this time Breast Cancer Research. "I think it is amazing that the last Ladies' Night, Fashion Show we hold, while located at this shop in Churchtown is, yet again, a sell out, and a fitting end to a chapter in our shop's story." said daughter, Lucy. Keep an eye on here over Christmas and throughout January for more information about what is next for Busy Body's Lingerie Specialists.
