Retirees in Leyland were joined by a celebrity guest last week where they had the chance to meet with BBC TV’s antiques expert, David Harper.
David was there to officially open the latest McCarthy Stone Retirement Living Plus development in Leyland, Balshaw Court. Joined by current homeowners and perspective buyers, he performed a ceremonial ribbon-cutting, kick-starting the celebrations at the development in Burlington Gardens.
David also provided stories and a short presentation on his life and career, imparting his knowledge and advice on guests keen to chat to him about their own antique prize possessions and ‘finds’.
Fiona Brooks, divisional sales and marketing director at McCarthy Stone, said: “We were absolutely delighted to be able to welcome David Harper to officially open our fabulous new development in Leyland. Our easy to maintain, luxurious apartments allow homeowners to enjoy their independence, with the added benefit of communal areas for socialising with neighbours.
“David is always a brilliant host and our homeowners and visitors seemed to really enjoy hearing his knowledge and advice and all about his eclectic career.”
