Last month [August] they opened the doors to their showroom in St Ives, just outside Huntingdon, to a flood of interest from the local community.

Mr Jones said: “We advertised heavily in the lead up to August, and were being asked about the showroom for weeks before it opened. We took 44 appointments on the first day, which is a • Dream Doors record.”

Sales in the first six months exceeded £100,000, and the couple are on target to turn over more than £250,000 in their first year.

“I wasn’t naive coming into this, and I knew that running a business wouldn’t be easy, but we definitely made the right decision. However, none of this would be possible without the help of Dream Doors. We knew this business would be great the first moment we walked into the head offices in Gosport and our dream of running our own business has come true,” he said.
