A remarkable family connection has been revealed at an Asda supermarket in Derby, where an astonishing 37 colleagues made up of mothers and their adult children working side by side.
The store has become something of a family affair, with multiple generations opting to work under the same roof.
A recent photograph captured ten of these mother-child duos who have made the supermarket their shared workplace.
For many families, the Asda store has become more than just a workplace – it's a family tradition.
Among the families is Wendy Fox, who has worked at the store for 19 years, with her 20-year-old daughter Ellie joining her two years ago.
Ellie works in the Click & Collect department, following in her mother's footsteps.
"When someone says mum here, we all turn around," Wendy said. "We are all friends and often have nights out together too."
She added: "I started out as a temp 19 years ago and I'm still here."

Another long-serving colleague is Lyndsey Mansfield, who has also been at the store for 19 years, now working alongside her 18-year-old son George Sims in Click & Collect.
"It's such a family-oriented store and everyone gets on so well. We socialise quite a lot and it's nice to bring the kids along," Lyndsey said.
"I don't see that much of George at work with him being in another department, but it's nice to know he's there."
The family connections go further, with Lyndsey's partner Richard Baxter working in security at the store, while she works in the George section.
Her other children, Charlie, 23, and Amy, 29, have also worked at Asda Derby in the past.
Meanwhile, Clare Dean, 58, has her own family story at the store, having met her husband Andrew there 30 years ago.
Her sisters Mandy and Sharon also used to work with her, but now Clare works alongside her daughter Alisha, continuing the family tradition.
"I see mum more here than at home," Alisha said. "Each time she comes past she'll check on me and I do the same when I'm passing her department."
"I suppose it was inevitable that Alisha would work here too. It's a real treat working in the same store as her," Clare said.
