Leucothoe possibly fontanesiana "Rainbow" but there are a few cultivars that look similar.
Needs acid (ericaceous) soils.

Thank you for your reply, I looked up Leucothoe and the growing details/advise/needs.
I top-dressed the plant with ericaceous soil and granular feed/fertiliser and moved to a shady position, can anyone advise why it now looks so awful/sad, i know the weather has been to great.
Thanks
