SUITS you sir - that was just Maria Bradshaw's idea when she set up her first business in Burnley at the age of just 22.

And the men are certainly taking the 'Fast Show' route to her Manchester Road shop which gives grooms the same lavish attention all brides receive when choosing their wedding day attire.

When researching her idea, Maria, now 23, discovered many outlets that catered for men looking for suits to buy and hire for weddings were bridal shops and felt men were uncomfortable going to them because they were geared for women.

So Maria decided to redress the balance and set up The Suit Company, exclusively for men.

The shop was runner-up for the prestigious Phoenix Fund Awards in London earlier this year.

"Being nominated was fantastic and the help that Burnley Enterprise has given me has been essential," Maria said.
