| >> Wrightchoice Barbers |
|
| Wrightchoice Barbers was formed in 2004 by entrepreneur Simon Chandler (Founder of Wrightchoice CSA). Simon’s reason for opening the shop was based on the fact that he and his seven sons (two step sons) had to get their hair cut on a weekly basis and this would cost him about £50 a week. So the idea to open a barber shop to provide for families such as his was born. Simon had experience from his childhood of the positive effect a barber shop had on the local black community. It was a place where fathers would take their sons to interact on issues that affect the community and this experience gave Simon even more motivation to open his own shop.
