00:00I'm Nathan Scottford. I had a shop in Booth, Folkestone, town centre, Boothbury Road West

00:06for 10 and a half years. Sadly I had to make the decision in the end of September of last year,

00:132023, to move, relocate, and myself and a private investor friend, customer, suggested that we

00:25build this project, which is where we're currently sat. It was supposed to have taken

00:30four to six weeks with the planning and the building. Due to delays, we officially opened

00:38on, well unofficially opened, sorry, on the 24th of July, so two weeks ago. The decision I took to

00:49leave Boothbury Road West was down to the rising utility costs, the decline of business on the

00:57high street, and also my lease I was coming to an end and I didn't want to renegotiate.

01:05I've lived in this house for 18 years and in the last two weeks I finally feel like I've come home.

01:14Now what I mean by that is it's always been my home but I've never felt like it was my home,

01:21i.e. you know like my wife's stuff is there, my clothes were there, but I never really felt a part

01:26of it. Now I have my possessions in a business attached to my home, I feel like I've come home.
