It’s possible that Jay Blades thought life couldn’t get much better. The Repair Shop’s frontman recently married his partner Lisa Zbozen, received an MBE and collaborated with the King, all while working on his hit BBC TV show. But last week, another dream came true when he opened his first high street shop, in Poole, Dorset – Jay & Co., which sells restored furniture that he and his team have worked on.
And, in a testament to his huge popularity, and by advocates including the new King.
