We're here with Julie. Julie are you obviously Fleur Connexion. So you said you've been here since you were 13.
00:06
Yeah I started in the Fleur Trade when I was 13 as a Saturday girl. I did my college from the shop from when I was 16.
00:15
I've done floristry ever since and I've opened the shop for 10 years now.
00:20
Wow fantastic. So what's it like owning a shop on the high street on Tipton?
00:24
It's nice owning a shop but I think we need a few more people arraind us to help build trade and let it back into a little town.
00:34
Yeah we need just a few more things to do arraind here.
00:38
You've got obviously the square but it's a bit empty the square isn't it?
00:42
The square's empty at the moment so there's a few shops filling up so hopefully people will follow suit.
00:50
Lovely. What do you think about the community? Strong community in Tipton? Strong identity?
00:55
Yes. Strong community. I think people forget about us up here next week. We've got a lot to come for.
01:05
The people in here. People forget about you but the people in here know the people in here are great.
01:09
Yeah people. I've been serving people since I was young so still the same customers and new ones.
01:16
We're standing inside of Zach. I've seen you like a chip shop call.
01:20
This is called Victoria Chippy in Tipton.
01:22
It's a famous Chippy in Tipton is it?
01:24
It is. It's one of the best around here.
01:26
That's what people say.
01:27
How long have you been the manager for in that city?
01:29
Six years now.
01:30
Fantastic. What's it like being here? What's it like owning a chicken?
01:32
It's very nice. It's good. We're always busy. We're always busy.
01:36
It's conditioning non-stop.
01:38
Are the customers like lovely customers?
01:40
Very nice customers. Very friendly. Even the young'uns as well.
01:43
You know when you get some areas in the quiet little room. The lads out here are really nice.
01:47
They're very polite. They've been brought up well. It's really nice. A very nice area.

Lashley Professional.
01:55
Fantastic. So what's it like being in the shop on the High Street?
01:59
What's your favourite part of working in Tipton?
02:02
Well I love the customers. I love the people at Tipton. I'm from Tipton. Love them all.
02:07
But I think the shopping centre in Owen Street definitely needs more shops in.
02:12
Maybe if the rent was a bit cheaper then they could get some more shops in.
02:17
Make it a bit more busier for us all.
02:19
Brilliant. If you could pick one thing. One thing that stands out about Tipton.
02:23
Do you reckon it's the people?
02:25
It's definitely the people.
02:26
