Before moving to Brixham three years ago, and opening the original Deli in Bolton street, Roy worked as a retail consultant all over the world. Gillian had a career in IT. "We wanted a change of life, a change of perspective," Roy says. "I always thought it would be great to create and design our own specialist food shop. "We thought Brixham was a town to invest in because of the regeneration project going on here and the new fishmarket."

"We've made a lot of great friends here and we really feel part of the community. To me, this community is phenomenal. It's got a real soul and the people that live here and the people that have come to live here love it."

Looking forward to a busy summer, Roy said: "If I was walking outside and saw this shop I would think it looked great. "We've got great staff and brilliant customers and we're proud of what we've done."
