Howells in Cardiff is one of Wales' best known department stores - but is one of the House of Fraser branches set to close its doors for the final time early next year. For many, however, the faces working within the store have become almost as iconic as the building itself – and none more so than the sight of twins Michael and Howard Jones. Identical and clad in matching uniforms, for the siblings what would become a lifetime's love affair with the store started in the same manner it would finish four decades later – side by side. Aged 17 the brothers were interviewed together in the same room, fresh from finishing their learning at Cardiff High School. Such is their status that now, 40 years later, they are spotted on a daily basis by old colleagues and customers and have been recognised as far away as Spain as the 'Howells brothers'.
