Mary ‘Queen of Shops’ Portas is on the look-out for another independent retailer to help in a brand new series for Channel 4.

The production company Optomen is looking to speak to people who run independent shops that are struggling to survive or expand, whether it be a bakery or a bookshop.

The successful applicant would receive advice and guidance from Portas, whose report on recommending ways to help save the British high street, commissioned by the government, was published last month.

If you own a struggling business and would like to find out more, or want to apply please email maryp@optomen.com or call 0203 227 5896.
