on the list of priorities for the family firm which likes to give all-round satisfaction and value for


money. The new shop is easier


to find — and it is a lot easier to park your car. n e a rb y . The sound equipment which Wilkin­ son’s has sold for the last 13 years is all of the highest quality and now a range of television sets and video recorders has been added. Wilkinson’s is a family firm ran by Mr Wilkin-


son and his wife Pat­ ricia. While Mr Wilkin­ son was preparing the new shop h is son, Andrew — who holds a National Diploma in Electronic Engineering — ran the Netherfield Road business and now helps run the Manches­ ter Road shop.


The couple’s other


son, David, works in the shop whenever possible and when he leaves Burnley College he, too, will become a member of the firm.
