"Nowadays companies are increasingly using the internet to provide products and services to their customers.
"But many of us - particularly older people, like to speak to someone face-to-face when they're discussing their personal matters.
"This is why it is so encouraging to see a company such as Age Cymru Enterprises opening its shop at 58 Merthyr Road, to provide face-to-face services and products for older people in the area."
The Age Cymru Enterprises shop provides travel insurance; car insurance and motor breakdown cover and home insurance.
Other products available from the shop include funeral plans; gas and electricity; personal alarms as well as a wills and legacies services; an annuity service and equity release.
Age Cymru Enterprises is marking the official opening of its shop by running an open week from Monday 3 October to Friday 7 October.
Age Cymru Enterprises' Development Manager, George Burke explains:
"Everyone is welcome to come along to our open week for an informal chat with our arrangers Lorna Lewis and Sarah Armstrong.
"Whether you need a new product such as home, travel or car insurance, or even if you are thinking about organising your finances in later life, please pop in for a chat.
"Lorna and Sarah will be happy to speak to you - and they'll even make you a cup of tea if you ask them nicely."
