Manager: Paul Miles brings a wealth of retail knowledge to Morrisons Blandford Forum, obtained during his 27 year career with the company. Paul has managed six stores in the local area, including Ringwood, Verwood and Parkstone.
Colleagues: Our Blandford store employs 185 colleagues, 37 of whom were previously unemployed. Specialist staff include bakers who are craft skilled so that they can bake many different types of bread from scratch, butchers trained in traditional craft skills to offer the freshest meat and prepare over 150 cuts, and fishmongers equipped with the skills to prepare over 110 different cuts of fish.
Site: Morrisons Blandford occupies the former Safeway site in Blandford Forum. The store has undergone a full refurbishment and conversion to incorporate Morrisons ‘Market Street.’
Building: The store features innovative, energy-saving technologies, such as intelligent lighting control systems that minimise the use of artificial lighting required, with lights switching off automatically when there is sufficient daylight or when areas of the building are unoccupied.
