Plant Puzzle.

Greetings each.
I planted a shrub thingy in my front garden nine years ago, on the advice of a local Wildlife Trust person. I had wanted something to attract birds, bees, butterflies etc.
The plant has small green leaves and produces very small flowers which attract loads of bees. In the autumn it produces loads of red berries which then turn bright red and stay there all winter until the birds have scoffed the lot!
The berries seem to germinate where they fall on the surrounding stone chippings and then grow into new shrubs, which I am starting to transplant in the surround of a large pond at the rear of here.
Does anyone know what the name of this shrub might be please? I have completely forgotten.
Be good!
Cheers.
