Bosses behind Cut the Wrap bid farewell to their Upper Brook Street site on Monday after nearly three years of business.

The store operates on a complete plastic-free basis, with customers choosing how much of a product they want to buy – and in what container. After a difficult 2020, Mrs Moffatt said the couple is forging a ‘brighter, more positive’ future in their new base in New Market Street.
