From Co Down to Costa del Sol: Garry Jackson on swapping Northern Ireland for sunny Spain

When popular Co Down barber Garry Jackson announced his retirement three months ago after more than 30 years in business, the news took many by surprise.

Back in February, Garry, 59 and his wife Mari, 61, from Holywood took to social media to reveal they would be stepping back from the long-established Garrys Barber Shop and handing over the reins to their colleague, Rafael (Raffa) Santos.

Garry spent over 30 years in barbering, having "cut his teeth" in a traditional, long established and highly regarded barber shop in Belfast, where he worked hard to gain a good reputation and clientele before progressing to open up his own business in Holywood back in 1990.
