A spokesman from Kemp Hall said the improvements made to the building have made a ‘massive difference’. They added: “We repainted the shop front and installed two doors, one for a staff entrance and another to replace our reception door. Now, customers can see a friendly face through the window pane and both doors are beautiful – it’s made a huge difference.”
