AN east Cleveland photographer has announced a £10,000 expansion plan.

The Keith Moss Gallery, in Brotton, opened its doors in June.

Owner Keith Moss, who runs the gallery with his wife, Pat, will be extending his gallery space and investing in more modern equipment along with recruiting more staff in the New Year.

Mr Moss said: "Obviously, Pat and I are thrilled by the response we have had since moving to the North-East. The business has grown quickly, thanks to the support of many people in the region, and it is very exciting that now we can make this investment in the gallery to provide more services to our customers."

The gallery will close for four weeks next month for the refurbishment and extension, and reopen at the start of February.
