Brexit and Covid-19 has been blamed for a Hadleigh independent furniture shop closing down permanently.

Kelly Campbell-Staines and husband Keith Staines, the owners of the Little Grey Bird furniture shop in Hadleigh have told customers their business was hit by a double whammy of a third lockdown and Brexit.

The couple admitted they were sad to be closing and thanked their customers for their support on their website and social media page.

After initially offering a click and collect service they have now decided delivery is a safer option for customers and have started a closing down sale, with a socially-distanced delivery service within five miles of Hadleigh, or slightly further afield for large orders.

Described by customers as a quirky and unique interiors shop, the couple moved to Hadleigh's Maiden Way in November 2018, from Stonham Barns, after first launching at Helmingham Hall and Gardens six years ago.
