After 23 years of working at one of the UK’s largest independent music stores, Ben Fuller, has decided it is time for a change.

The former Action Records employee told Blog Preston his interest in music began from a young age and that working at the Church Street store over the decades has been a dream.

Ben said: “It’s been an absolute pleasure, it was my dream job when I started it.

“I’d shop there as a teenager growing up and went away to university and then when I came back it was somewhere I always liked the idea of working.

“It’s really turned out that way, I love music it’s one of my main passions and the idea of working in music always appealed to me.”

In a Facebook post, Action Records shared old and new pictures of Ben at the store.

The team said: “We wish him a fond farewell and a big thanks for the time he spent here. He will be missed by us and many customers.”

Now Ben and his partner are looking for a change of scene from Preston, deciding to uproot to Sheffield for a new journey.
