Cllr Morris added: “Many congratulations to Karen. It’s clear this business is a success because of all of the hard work that’s gone into it. It should also be noted that Plum’s growth is good news for the area; the office move has helped create jobs locally, and Plum supports a variety businesses across Weston-super-Mare and surrounding areas.”
