FORMER Asda manager Trisha Barnes is enjoying a career change as the new landlady at The Havelock Inn, Blackburn.

Trisha, who worked at Asda, Blackburn, for eight-and-a-half years, is in her sixth week at the Havelock Street establishment.

Trisha and husband John were previously at the Robin Hood in Haslingden Road for six months following Trisha's decision to change her life.

Trisha said: "It's going really well. I just decided after eight and a half years working my way up in Asda that I wanted to work for myself. The Havelock is a community and family pub."

And Trisha said she hoped people will take advantage of the pub's great beer garden in the coming summer months.
