Dad Nick is an INSPIRATION!

BUSINESSMAN WINS AWARD AFTER REBUILDING NEW LIFE WITH HIS SONS AND STARTING A NEW COMPANY HELPING OTHERS AFTER DIVORCE

- By WAYNE ANKERS

A DAD who rebuilt his life and business after losing everything has won a national award for his inspirational comeback.

Nick Calcutt, 52, from Huddersfield, has been named the Most Inspiring Business Person of the Year at the National Entrepreneur Awards as his grounds and property maintenance company Vital Facilities Solutions, which operates in Calderdale, goes from strength to strength.

Following a tough divorce he lost his landscape garden business, his home and also lost contact with his two young sons for several years, ending up in total despair.

Now he has a successful business which both sons work in and he's setting up a community-based Charitable Incorporated Organisation called The Growing Place on a 3-acre site in the Lowerhouses area of Huddersfield where men and dads can build and cultivate nurseries on the land and then sell the plants and produce to fund the charity.
