A man who set up his own business with just £12 in the bank as a teenager in his bedroom now has a city centre store.
Charlie McDonough, a 26 year-old from Aigburth, runs The Block P, a clothing and trainer store on Renshaw Street in the city centre. He had been buying trainers and selling them out of “pure passion” for several years but after a car crash left him unable to work he decided to pursue it as a full-time career.
Charlie said: “I had a car accident when I was 18 which meant I couldn’t get a proper job. My back was too sore all the time to work. I had to quit my job in a call centre because of it. I was faced with choosing between doing nothing and trying to do something myself and it went from there.”
