With many years’ experience in the hospitality industry and
a drive and ambition to be his own boss it wasn’t going to be long before Rob
Leatherbarrow set up on his own. Wirral based Rob wanted to set up a mobile
catering business which offered a high standard of the region’s favourite
street food.
The offering is starting small ‘Wirral Wonder’ burgers and ‘Shack’
dogs are an easy and much loved staple on the menu however Rob believes in
bespoke service and working with his clients. When catering for the launch of
the Pacific Road Sheds he allowed Enterprise Hub partner; Wirral Chamber to edit the name to Shed Dawgs
and added fresh tomatoes to turn the Wirral Wonder burgers red!
Rob’s business has grown from strength to strength which has
enabled him to give up his position in a local restaurant and dedicate 100% of
his time to the enterprise. The Enterprise Hub sparked Rob’s confidence and
supported him with the marketing aspect of developing his business. He has
learnt to ask for help and realises he needs to be relentless to
achieve his goal of a national brand with at least five vans.
Speaking about the programme, Rob said “It’s a brilliant
programme with excellent support from all the team. I have gained confidence in
my business abilities, which has helped me to develop and move forward”
Paula
Basnett, CEO of Wirral Chamber of Commerce commented “It’s excellent to be able
to support a business like Roberts Snack Shack, it highlights the significance
of the Enterprise Hub on Wirral and is a great example of what we offer to
entrepreneurs.”
Delighted to be fully in charge of his destiny Rob is
looking forward to a busy summer period. Should you wish to experience the
delicious gourmet Snack Shack burgers and hot dogs then get in touch with Rob
