Mary Portas looking for garden centre volunteers

Optomen Television is asking garden centres for help with the making of the new series of Mary Portas: Secret Shopper.

The series will see Mary giving expert help and advice on customer service to independent businesses, which this time will also include a garden centre. Any business interested in being involved should contact Optomen using the details below.

A spokesperson for the company said: ?Maybe sales are down, you are struggling to attract repeat customers and feel trade is slowly dwindling? Or perhaps, despite your best efforts, the locals just don?t spend like they used to and you can?t work out why. Whatever the issue, we?d love to hear from you.?

?If selected to take part in the programme Mary will work together with you and your staff. Having looked at your garden centre with a fresh pair of eyes she will offer her unique insight, ideas and expertise?.

The last series was screened on Channel 4 earlier this year and reached around two million viewers per episode.
