AN independent clothing shop is celebrating its 10th birthday.

Lewis Yates, in High Street, Billericay, is marking the landmark with complimentary drinks, giveaways from their biggest brands, and discounts from October 26 to October 27.

A spokesman for the shop said: “Since 2008 our customers have been the centre of this celebration, from passersby to regulars, we’d like to say a big thank you to them.”

Owner Lewis Tweddell launched the independent store in 2008 and it has gone from strength to strength.
