Former hairdresser cuts a dash with etyre franchise
After 20 years helping his clients transform their appearance with a new hairstyle, Scott Blyth decided he needed a dramatic change himself – only he wanted a completely new career.
So the Livingston hairdresser started combing franchise websites for a new venture. It was not long before he realised etyres, the leading online mobile tyre fitting franchise, was a cut above the many opportunities available.
“I could see almost immediately that it had great potential as a local business and that it was also a business I would enjoy being part of,” Scott, 38, explained.
“After 20 years, my heart just wasn’t in hairdressing any more, and I am not someone who wants to spend my days doing a job I’m not excited about or keen to push to a new level.
“To go from standing up all day in one place to driving around to different locations and being outside in all weathers really appealed to me. I love football and although I don’t play as much now I coach one of my sons teams and I love being out in all weathers, wind, rain and snow, so etyres was perfect for me.”
Scott, a married father-of-three, is also looking forward to running his own business again, after having previously having had his own hairdressers. “It’s not just about being my own boss,” he explained, “I am excited about the prospect of building the business from scratch.
“I want to be able to get a second van on the road and employ a fitter as soon as possible, so that I can really grow the business.”
Despite his experience running his own business previously, Scott has benefited from the help and support offered by etyres Head Office.
“Whenever I have had any questions or issues to sort out, someone has always been on hand to offer me advice and guide me. I couldn’t have asked for a better start to launching my branch and now I can’t wait to get out on the road.”
