BUSINESS LEAVES BRIGG AFTER 18 WONDERFUL YEARS & WITH TREASURED MEMORIES

One well-known business has said farewell to the town but another enterprise is soon to take its place at this prominent location.
Design Orchard - offering lighting, gifts, furniture and other items - has vacated premises on Old Courts Road, facing the town's main car park.
The business told us that "after 18 wonderful years in Brigg" it had closed its doors in the town, but is now "fully operational online" and also from its Beverley showroom on the North Bank.
Design Orchard says the decision to close its Brigg shop was not taken lightly but was "made as a family, taking into consideration health, age and the changes in retail across the country."
It stressed: "We have made many friends and take away treasured memories.
"We will continue to deliver our products nationwide and are making weekly trips to the Brigg area.
"All products are available on our website www.designorchard.co.uk – with the same friendly faces and voices at the end of the phone in Beverley, 01482 882060. We hope to see you all soon!“
Design Orchard, over the years, won Brigg awards for various window displays, provided illuminations for the Tree of Light at Christmas in nearby Chapel Court, supported local charities and gave sponsorship to the Poppy 10k race.
As one of the town's many niche businesses, it offered quality service.
We described it in a December 2015 post as being "One of the leading lights in Brigg shopping."
Seen above and below are pictures of Design Orchard in Brigg over the years, including celebrations held to mark its 10th anniversary when visiting customers (and the press!) were treated to a fine range of refreshments.
Some of the images were taken by us; others come courtesy of Ken Harrison, of Brigg Matters magazine.
Following the closure of Design Orchard's Brigg shop, another business will be taking over these premises in the near future.  We are in touch with the proprietor and details will follow on Brigg Blog.
