Express TV Services, a family-run electrical business in Malvern Link, has closed after 67 years of trading.

Express TV Services closed its doors in Malvern Link this week after 67 years of trading. The business, which opened on Worcester Road in 1959, was founded by Brian Evans and later joined by his father Ernest Evans. It served generations of customers with sales, repairs and installations of televisions and white goods.

Managing director Heath Evans, the grandson of the founders, joined the business in 1984. He reflected on the store's highlights, saying it 'boomed through the colour years' and that they were 'one of the very first properties in the Midlands to receive colour TV'. The business won multiple service prizes over the years and supplied equipment to the Turin Olympics for hospitality.

Ernest was involved until the early 1980s, with Brian working part-time until 2010. At closure, the business employed five people: Heath, his sister Heidi Morgan (who managed white goods for more than 30 years), his wife Wendy (accounts), and installers Andy Somers and his son Chris. Together, the five employees had amassed 136 years of service.
