Department store Clerys yesterday announced the third and final phase of its £14 million refurbishment plan. The final phase, which will see the first and second floors being completely modernised to include a mezzanine area catering for young women, is due to finish in 2003.

Annual turnover for the business was £35 million (€44.5 million) in 2000 and the company said it expects this to rise to more than £39 million in 2001.
