Vodafone opens in Morpeth as part of £100 million investment in the UK High Street

29 September 2014

Vodafone’s new Morpeth store opens at Sanderson Arcade tomorrow - creating 5 jobs in the heart of the community.

The new store forms part of Vodafone’s £100 million nationwide expansion, opening 150 new shops and creating 1,400 jobs in the next year.

The Morpeth store opens with a brand new look including top ten tables displaying the best-selling devices, so customers can try before they buy.

The in-store team can help customers set up their phone or tablet, as well as transferring over contacts and photos with Vodafone Red Box, so they can leave the store ready to go.  There’s also an option to click and collect, using the store as the place to pick up online purchases.

Vodafone have a range of services for customers, from the innovative Vodafone Red plans – giving unlimited calls, texts and loads of data – to the latest ‘must-have’ handsets such as the Samsung GALAXY S5, Sony Xperia Z2 or HTC One M8.

Nikolay Boney, Manager of the new Morpeth store said: “We’re delighted to be coming to Morpeth and have some great offers for our customers. Pop in, see what we’ve got for you or simply ask our advice.  We’re here to help.”

Vodafone UK Chief Executive Jeroen Hoencamp said: “This year we'll invest more than ever before to provide our customers with the strongest network and best services in the UK. We're also committed to putting our brand and our people where our customers want us: right at the heart of their high street and shopping centre. Our £100 million retail investment this year will increase our ability to serve our customers better with highly skilled personal advice and support in 150 brand new locations."

The opening of the Morpeth store forms part of Vodafone's plans to invest £1 billion in 2014 in the networks and services relied upon by its more than 19 million UK customers. Vodafone UK’s 2014 capital investment programme is the largest in its history - dating back to the company's foundation in the 1980s - with work already well underway to deliver Vodafone's commitment to provide indoor and outdoor coverage using 2G, 3G and 4G services to 98% of the UK population by 2015.
