Witham's first vape shop is set to open, bringing four jobs to the town centre.

Planet Plume Vape Shop is opening in a property in Guithavon Street, Witham, from Saturday morning.

The business is the second store owned by entrepreneurs Blair Lloyd-Warne and Craig Balding.

The duo have already taken on four members of staff, with the potential for more in the future.

Mr Lloyd-Warne said: "We opened our first store in Stanford-le-Hope in October last year.

"We are hoping we will eventually open quite a few all over Essex.

"We stock the largest range of liquids in Essex and all of the guys and girls who work for us have successfully given up smoking themselves.

"We have got the staff ready to get it off the ground but there will be opportunities for new staff in the future.

"Witham town centre is busy and I'm surprised there is not already a vape shop in the town."
