The loneliness became too much to bear for one Leeds man who runs a pie business exclusively online, so he became a bus driver.
Pie maker Richard ‘Rocky’ Arkwright, 62, sold off his shares to his shop Mi’ Mam’s Pies, which became well known after he appeared on Dragons' Den, and began selling his pies directly to people on Facebook instead.
Rocky has been making his pies from his kitchen in Morley, which he loves doing but he’s spoken about how it became a lonely job. The entrepreneur said: “As you can imagine, being at home seven days a week, it was very lonely. Everything is done online, through social media.”
