BOLTON-born Holly Unsworth is taking over as the youngest-ever owner of a Water Babies swimming business.
Apart from stints waitressing at a Milkshake Bar and Nando’s, the 23-year-old has spent her entire working career working for the world’s largest baby and toddler swimming franchise business and now she is set to take over the operation across Lancashire.
“I started as an apprentice six years ago," she said.
“I have also been a pool attendant and a teacher and have worked in the office. But I have always wanted to be my own boss. I have always wanted to challenge myself.”
On Monday she officially took over running a business that operates classes in 10 different pools in Preston, Darwen, Blackburn, Lancaster, Thornton and Chorley.
She said: “It will be really exciting seeing how it grows. It will be a new challenge, but very exciting.”
Holly will be taking over in areas run successfully by Nayna and Kash Patel. Along with her team including Jess, Kitty and Louise, Water Babies Lancashire will teach around 500 babies and toddlers per week.
