A MOTHER and daughter have joined the team at Middlesbrough carpet manufacturers Whitestone Weavers.

LILLIAN and ANGELA DAVIES will handle incoming calls to the factory.

With sales experience, Lillian joins following a long career with the advertising department of a local paper.

Her daughter, Angela, 26, returned to her home town of Middlesbrough from a job in Sheffield, where she was also an undergraduate.

"Since leaving university, I have worked in very customer-orientated roles, so I knew I would be well-suited to the position - and mum was getting on well, so it seemed like the perfect opportunity," said Angela.

Angela has moved back home with her mother in Berwick Hills - a short distance from Whitestone Business Park, where the company is based.
