And for their commitment, the shop has been nominated in the best customer service category of the Observer Community Awards.
Ashvin, who is now also in his 12th year as a councillor for Arun District Council representing Pagham and Rose Green, moved to this area from London and says he enjoys working here and playing a role in the community.

Ashvin believes it is important for local traders to get involved in the community and get to know the people who live in the area, and through being a councillor he has met many residents.
Although it no longer has the post office, the shop has many regular customers and Ashvin and his family always go the extra mile to make sure people get the best service.
“The main thing is that customers should feel happy when they come in,” added Ashvin.
