Businesswomen Mandy Marshall has invested in new premises
marketed by Banks Long & Co and has given seven experienced
city hairdressers the chance to go for a "restyle."
When Mandy heard that colleagues in the trade were worried they
might be facing redundancy, she realised she was staring a
brilliant business opportunity in the face.
So she decided to search for the perfect premises to house a
slick new salon and quickly discovered that Lincoln commercial
agent Banks Long & Co had the ideal unit on its
books.
Now after snapping-up a brand new outlet on Outer Circle Road,
Mandy - who also has an equine dental services business - has
launched Cream Hairstyling, which is providing a full range of
services for ladies and gentlemen.
"I shall continue to run Mandy Marshall Equine Dental Services
as well as spending time growing Cream Hairstyling," said
Mandy.
"The best thing about our new salon is that it is in a superb
position, right on the doorstep of hundreds of homes and
businesses. It is also next to bustling food outlets, within sight
of constantly passing traffic and, of course, it's great to have
free parking spaces right outside the door."
Banks Long & Co surveyor Matthew Brooks said: "This deal
have given Mandy the opportunity to put her stamp on brand new
premises, which have come with a new lease.
"She even benefited from a rent-free period, which was a bonus
because it allowed her "non-trading" time to fit-out the salon"
Neighbouring businesses include Domino's Pizza and Fillets, so
this part of Outer Circle Road - directly opposite the busy Carlton
Centre, with its national-name retailers and other niche businesses
- serves a large catchment area and has the potential to attract
lots of customers," added Mr Brooks.
