ENTREPRENEUR Mike Warren is expanding his chain of Bang and Olufsen dealerships in the region, following the lease of a store in Newcastle city centre.

Mr Warren opened his first Bang and Olufsen store in Jesmond, Newcastle, six years ago.

He has since opened two more outlets, one in Durham City and the other in Yarm.

The Newcastle store is in Grey Street.

Mr Warren said: "Since I opened my first Bang and Olufsen store in Jesmond, I have been keen to expand into Newcastle City Centre. Grey Street is the perfect location from a retail point of view and I am certain that this store will go a long way to increasing an already very strong market for Bang and Olufsen equipment."
