A YEOVIL man has set up his own furniture business.

Ricky Jackson set up Bespoke Home Furniture at the end of 2011, and has already secured two commissions in the South West.

He said: "I would encourage other people to give it a go and set up new businesses.

"The current climate shouldn't put people off if you feel you could make a difference in your sector."

Ricky set up the firm after seeing a need for a fresh approach to furniture design.
