A young barber from Belfast who has trimmed tresses across the world – including those of Manchester United football players – has urged GCSE students to aim for the sky.
Mark Hawthorne, 21, from the Shankill area, is currently working in Melbourne with ambitions set up his own brand in Belfast as well as mentor young people.
He received his GCSE results at the Belfast Boys Model school in 2017 after experiencing personal challenges including being placed into care at the age of 11.
