Rachel said: “We are like a big family – Althams really looks after its staff. From the counter staff to the managing director, everyone is important.

“Even though we have 32 branches our managing director still knows everyone’s name.

“In our branch we are like sisters – we know each other so well that we can finish each-others sentences and know that help is always there without needing to ask for it; we’re like a well-oiled machine.”

The company, founded in 1874, prides itself on its relationship with customers, many of whom come back time after time.
