A Harrogate barber has taken his business on the road in a former ambulance.

Christopher Anderson, who ran Bespoke Barbers on Westmoreland Street, has opted to take on clients in his new van.

The move comes as his shop in Harrogate closed its doors on December 23.

Mr Anderson, who ran the barbers for eleven-and-a-half years, said it took some consideration to take the business one the road.

He said:

“Over a year ago I started to seriously think about the possibility of professional van life.

“With a great deal of research and procrastination the dream became a reality. It has been hard to share my vision and thanks to a great deal of patience and support I’ve made it.”

Mr Anderson described it the move onto wheels as a steep learning curve, but added he was glad to have done it.
