small shop has one 2.5kw storage heater on one off peakcircuit via fcu however the shop only opens five days a week so are asking for a timer (7 day) so they can save heating an empty shop when not open.If i put a timer on off peak circuit it will stop at 8 in morning . Any ideas?

Install a 7 day timer, and match the timings or full 24hours during 5 day opening, and switch off at weekends.
Just to add, the timer will need to be run off normal cu to keep it running, and would suggest a contactor to control the storage heater

Use a 7 day timer with contacts which are separate from the timer supply. Run the timer off the continuous supply (suitably fused). Route the heater supply through the timer contacts.
