JOHN Robb's business is now in full swing!

The keen Barrowford golfer decided to set up his own business with partner Jim Scott, selling and repairing electric golf trolleys after a year of unemployment.

"New golfing equipment is quite expensive to buy so it makes sense to have it repaired and maintained instead," said John, a former aircraft fitter.

Full Swing Trolley Services was helped through ELTEC's FirmBase business start up programme,.

"FirmBase enabled me to put my ideas into action and gave me the drive to succeed," he said.
