The doors of a popular women's boutique have officially opened in Kenilworth.

Mayor of Kenilworth, Cllr Alison Insley, cut the ribbon at NV Her on Warwick Road last Thursday (September 24), welcoming the independent business to town.

Run by Sharon Steadham, NV Her has taken over and fully renovated the former Cancer Research UK charity shop.

Sharon launched the business in 2008 before opening a boutique in Warwick's Market Place.

Speaking to Nub News earlier this year, she explained the move to Kenilworth: "We've completely outgrown Warwick.

"I did try and stay, but they decided they didn't want any more retail units in Warwick.

"I was going to get a second shop anyway, and I was hoping to come to Kenilworth, because I've always loved Kenilworth.

"My friends who are next door to the shop, Buds & Bows, gave me a heads up to say the Cancer Research shop was leaving, so I got in there first."

The move has proved popular with locals, with many heading down to NV Her over the opening weekend.

Cllr Insley praised Sharon's "incredible work ethic" when she opened the boutique last week.

"It is a fantastic addition to our town," the mayor said.

"The space is welcoming, the attention to detail is exceptional."

The Cancer Research shop closed at the end of May.
