Called 3 Beez, it has been set up in The Triangle by Katie Bright to sell clothes for women of a larger size, selling sizes 16-32.

It also features hand-made jewellery created by Katie, aged 48 and also a resident of Clevedon.

She said: “I have been wanting to do this for a long time now.

“I am a bigger lady myself and I cannot buy any clothes in Clevedon.

“I thought it could be my little niche.

“I believe this shop is unique to Clevedon and the surrounding area as well as one which is desperately needed.”

Katie has set-up the shop after previously working for 17 years as head housekeeper at the town’s Walton Park Hotel.

She is now following in the retail footsteps of her father, Michael Bright, and grandfather who created and ran the Clevedon and Nailsea furniture business, M Bright and Sons, for a number of years.
