After ten years of managing convenience stores for other people, well-known local retailer Ross Newham has taken the plunge and opened his own Costcutter store creating nine new jobs.
Ross purchased two former pop-up shops in South Street from Exeter City Council in October last year as part of a programme of regeneration of the city centre.

Four successive losses meant the Chiefs had allowed a number of their top flight rivals around them to close in - and with it create a bit of log-jam with regards to the positioning around the top end of the table....
