Two Northwich entrepreneurs have placed further investment in the town centre as they look to the future with their second business venture, highlighting their confidence in the future of the high street.

Crate Hair, a gentlemen’s hairdressers and lounge bar located on Crown Street, is owned and operated by business duo Charles and Alex. After a successful 18 months of trading and providing the men of Cheshire with a premium salon experience, the pair branched out and launched their second business, Crate Cheshire.

Specialising in luxury home fragrance products, Crate Cheshire introduced their hand poured soy and coconut candle range last year. Using only renewable resources and a unique blend of wax, the candles have been created with both style and sustainability in mind.

Both Charles and Alex have underpinned their decision to expand on the success of Crate Hair and the positive atmosphere in the town centre, saying: “It has been great to see more and more businesses investing in Northwich over the past 18 months. The feel in the town is really positive at the moment and our client base is ever growing. We are really excited to see what the coming 18 months bring!”

The entrepreneurs are now looking to expand and diversify Crate Cheshire’s offering into a larger selection of luxury scented products, after the Limited Edition Christmas range exceeded expectations and sold out in a matter of weeks.

“We have been delighted with customer feedback, seeing several repeat purchases already! The candles have a real luxury feel and through using only quality, renewable resources, we are extremely proud of the finished range.

Alex continued: “We’ve already got some of the products stocked in high-end independent retailers across Cheshire and we’re looking at getting more businesses on board to expand further.”

The future of Crate Hair is also looking positive as the team continues to encourage visitors to their live music evenings at the salon on both Thursdays and Fridays or to simply pop in to enjoy a drink in their lounge. Crate also recently featured in the Northwich Guardian’s list of the top 6 barbers in the area, as chosen by the public.

Customers can purchase the products both at Crate Hair in Northwich, online at cratecheshire.co.uk and at a selection of shops across Cheshire.
