One of Thirsk’s long standing market traders has retired after 40 years of trading!
Ravinder Singh started trading as R M Fashions in 1976 with his brother Mohinder selling ladies fashions. Ravinder traded at Thirsk Markets and Mohinder at Northallerton Markets.
“Since I joined the market team in 2007, Mr Singh has always been an inspiration to me,” said Andy Gunn-Newlove, Thirsk Market Superintendent who is pictured with Ravinder.
“His punctuality and eye for detail has always amazed me. I could set my watch by his arrival time. Mr Singh has added his own personal touch and vibrancy to our Thirsk market for 40 years and I and the rest of the market team along with fellow market traders wish him a long and happy retirement.”
Shoppers need not worry as they will still see R M Fashions at Thirsk on Mondays only as Mohinder is taking on the Monday market in addition to his stalls at Northallerton.
There is still room for more traders at Thirsk Markets on Mondays and Saturdays and anyone interested in applying for a stall should contact the Technical Officer for markets on 01609 767162 or email markets@hambleton.gov.uk
