WHEN an oil drum salesman took time out for a meeting round the barbecue he hit on the idea that has turbo-charged his business - steel drum barbecues.
Eight months and 60 barbecue sales later - Nathan Pearson’s bright idea has mushroomed into a burgeoning business that has outgrown his back garden and the storage unit he rented to take over new premises in Saltney.
Now, Nathan and his team are turning brand new upright 45-gallon steel drums into barbecues as well as a range of outdoor drum furniture and reconditioning used drums for sale.
Instead of the storage unit he rented at Lock Stock Self Storage’s River Lane site in Saltney he has bought a 40-foot unit from them to store a supply of the hefty steel drums.
