The shop, which officially opened on 5 January, is now owned by one family after Ford-Foyne’s parents joined the business as directors alongside him and his wife Steffannie.

The change in leadership follows the resignation of the agency’s previous directors last summer, which resulted in Geoffrey Foy and Carol Foy investing in the agency business.

"It's a proper, family-run business now," Ford-Foyne told TTG. "My dad’s been self-employed for donkey’s years, and my step-mum Carol has always been wonderful to my wife and I."
