The woman who has overcome devastating loss to launch a successful new restaurant in Mumbles

When Jenny McCarley was just 22, she experienced something most of us can't even bear thinking about: the tragic loss of her fiancé. Bradley Webster, then 23, was seriously injured after his vehicle crashed into a tree in Powys one afternoon in January, 2014. He was rushed to University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff and spent nine days in a coma, with medical staff doing everything they could to save him. But sadly, he passed away.

At the time, Jenny and Bradley had only just signed for their first home together - they'd picked up the keys the week before - and Jenny was seven months pregnant with their first child.

Remarkably, brave Jenny says having her child - who she named "Bradley Junior" after her beloved partner - saved her life. While battling through the pain of her loss, she strived to create a life she and her child could be proud of and, whilst she never expected to be a single mum, she refused to let her sad situation define her or hold her back in any way. And as a result, over the years has built up a successful business from the ground up. Get Swansea stories straight to your inbox with our newsletter.
