A couple have put retirement plans in Spain on hold in favour of running a business together.

Tim and Fiona Martin, of Standlake, were set to head for sunnier climes until they spotted an advertisement for the Food Express franchise and decided to give it a go.

Now, instead of relaxing on the beach they are working hard setting up a client base and delivering food, microwaves and freezers to companies, with the aim of providing staff a greater choice at meal

times.
