Shouraboura said: “I’m thrilled to be joining B&M.

“My experience in retail taught me that customers value three things: selection, convenience, and competitive pricing.

“During my recent visit to the UK, I had the opportunity to visit a number of B&M stores and was impressed by the product quality, range and low prices.”
