A MISSING man from Wellington has been found.

Concern was growing for the welfare of Mark Phillips, 56, who was last seen by a member of his family on Sunday but didn't attend work.

Avon and Somerset Police earlier today released an appeal to find Mr Phillips and have since located him.

The 56-year-old was found in the Steart Marshes area earlier this afternoon.

A spokesperson for Avon and Somerset Police said: "We’d like to thank all the search and rescue teams involved in this operation, as well as the public for assisting with our appeal."
