Last week I spent most of my wednesday at Wash nd Glow (because your car's worth it) near Manchester Fort on Cheetham Hill Road. Hosted by the very friendly owners, brothers Amir, Irfan and Imran. It was fascinating to hear the story of how they built up their business, expanded into other initiatives and their visions for future enterprises. All the while, they fed me and gave me cups of coffee in the very pleasant waiting area / cafe bar. They even made my car glow! I met some of the men and women who work on various aspects of car washing and also those who run adjacent businesses that serve the passing customers: a phone outlet, a steak take-away, a garage and a barber. Wash and Glow seem to have created a fun and pleasant atmosphere for customers, whilst stringent standards are paramount and the washing of cars is taken very seriously, with each car being checked. Workers I met represented a wide span of the globe and surely a good cross section of Cheetham Hill's diverse communities.
