FIFTEEN jobs have been created at family business Highfield Garden World due to a £2.2 million expansion.

A redevelopment of the Whitminster site began in March and is due for completion in the autumn. Retail space will increase and will include a 260-seat restaurant with views over the countryside.

The new roles will bring the total number of employees to 107.

Highfield is owned and run by three generations of the Greenway family and last year celebrated 20 years of business.

Tim Greenway said: "Highfield is a Gloucestershire business through and through and we are delighted to be in a position to employ more local people and support the local economy."
