Boots to create jobs as it lands at airport

Boots UK is to create 12 jobs when it opens a store at Leeds Bradford Airport later this month.

The new store will open in the Airside Departure lounge on February 22.

Boots UK is the first new national brand to be introduced at LBA for several years. The airport said the new addition to the retail offer forms part of its overall terminal improvements taking place throughout the winter season in preparation for the busy summer.

Darren Fussey, new store manager at Leeds Bradford Airport, Boots UK, said: “With our new and modern store, we really feel that we can make a difference to passengers travelling through Leeds Bradford Airport; not only from a healthcare and beauty perspective, but also by offering convenience for our customers like never before.”

Richard Aldridge, commercial manager at Leeds Bradford Airport, said: “As one of the fastest growing regional airports in the UK, it’s imperative we offer a range of retail outlets for our passengers. In response to feedback from our customers, we are proud and pleased to see Boots opening their doors at LBA, introducing a new national brand. The new airside store will enable all our passengers to enjoy shopping or pick up last minute items before they fly away, either on leisure or business.”
