Ben Martin Is The A6 Layby Baber: Austin Maxi Lap Dancing Club To Open Soon
BUSINESSMAN of the Day is Barber Ben Martin, 38, who has opened a hairdresser’s salon in a layby alongside the A6 near Luton. His barber’s in Caddington, Bedfordshire, closed a year ago. He struggled to find work. And then he had a “eureka moment” and opened a new shop in a trailer. Says he:
“I had to check it out with the highways authority and local council but there are no overheads. I drive my trailer there every day. I worked all hours at the start to work out what the best time to work was. Now I do 9.30am to 5.30pm Monday to Friday. Saturday was busy in my barber’s shop but of course on Saturday the roads are quiet.”
Yep, a business park (geddit?!) with no overheads. Old Mr Anorak has given us £25 to buy a nearly new Austin Maxi, with a sturdy aerial that doubles as a pole…
