TV RETAIL consultant Mary Portas, who is well-known for her no-nonsense approach to giving advice, is looking for a new project in Weston-super-Mare.
A third series of Channel 4 show Mary Portas: Secret Shopper is being filmed and its producers are looking for somewhere in the seaside town to feature in the programme.
A spokesman for producers Optomen Television said: “The series involves Mary going into independently-run retail or service businesses to work with the owners and offer her expert help and advice on customer service.
“We are now casting for the third series and looking for more independent shops and businesses to take part in the programme and we are targeting the Weston area.
“We are keen to speak to independent businesses in the area who would benefit from Mary’s expertise.”
