Monmouth barber celebrates half a century in family business

Dave Willett went to work on Monday (16th August) like it was just another day, but it marked a special occasion for the barber, as he has now been working there for the past 50 years.

Dave entered the building in Agincourt Street, Monmouth, as an apprentice at the age of 15, working for his uncle Sid Lee.

Now, 50 years on, he has been in full control of the business for 25 years since Sid retired due to ill health.

And Dave is keen to stress that he has no plans to retire.
