A family-run business has celebrated 15 years of trade in Ottery.

Colin and Julie Ingram opened Devon Tiles and Bathrooms, on the Finnimore estate, in 2002. They supply tiles to homes and businesses in the South West.

The couple also run the shop with their son Rob, who joined full-time after graduating from university.

Julie praised the shop’s ‘family team’ of Jon Ayshford, Nick Kennard and David Pearse and its customers for their loyal trade.

“It’s the loyalty of the local traders, some of them have been here right from the beginning,” she said.

Friends and customers attended a party last week in the shop’s newly revamped showroom for an evening of festivities.
