Ash Hudson's Nottingham cafe was themed around Alice in Wonderland yet life was anything but wonderful. As crippling debts piled up, his mental health spiralled out of control until he was on the brink of suicide.
After coming scarily close to ending his life, Mr Hudson poured his heart out to his fiancée, now his wife, Louise and sought professional help, which has changed his outlook.
More than two years on he has turned his life around and is now in a good place, with two children and a new successful business selling vintage silver jewellery. Opening up about his past struggles he said: "This is my story from suicide to success."
