A Nottingham man who built up his business over lockdown at the age of just 20 has revealed the secrets of his success as his business was nominated for an award. Leon Widdowson owns a successful car sales business, Widdowson Motor Sales on Kilton Terrace in Worksop.
Leon, who is originally from Mansfield Woodhouse, started buying and selling cars at his home address before setting up his business in Worksop. He got into the car sales industry at the young age of 20 after changing trades.
"I had always been into cars but after I left school at the age of 17, I went into the building trade as a plasterer. I went and bought a car from a dealer in Mansfield but I started to go there every day just to help out the owner. Three years later, I was still doing it as a volunteer because I wasn't being paid but I really liked it," he said.
