John Gilbody, 73, was thrilled when 22-year-old Louie Mulcair joined Stockport company Belle Vue Manchester after being made redundant from his job during the pandemic.
Louie started as a valeter and made such a good impression with his enthusiasm and abilities that bosses soon offered him the chance to train as a driver.
