“We opened the shop over the summer to provide over-50s in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan with products and services such as pre-paid funeral plans and our annuity service.
“Since we’ve been trading from 58 Merthyr Road, it’s been a very busy time and in that time I’ve been very impressed by the hard work dedication of our staff members, Lorna and Sarah.
“Since April 1, we were in temporary offices on Cathedral Road and we are delighted to move into this permanent home for our services in Whitchurch.
