“It’s so important to support the local community and remind people to shop locally during Christmas.
“Our business has been in Wick Village for several years, selling a range of furniture and blinds and, along with the other traders, we all work really hard to offer an excellent service to our customers.
“We hope the Christmas tree helps everyone feel nice and Christmassy this festive season and we look forward to seeing old and new customers this holiday time.”
