Dad closes barbers due to sky-rocketing costs – so sets up shop in his back garden instead

Barber closes high street shop due to rising costs and moves business to garden cabin – Nathan Scotford, 42, shut down his barber shop and set up Cushty Cuts in a cabin behind his home in Folkestone after costs rose by 30%. This decision came as he needed to make over £2,000 per month to break even at the high street location. Scotford, with a loyal client base, built a cabin with new electrics and insulation, decorated with Only Fools and Horses memorabilia. He is pleased with the move, retaining his customers and enjoying the short commute to work.
