The Barber Company Bath

Founded by school friends Mike Sardo and Colino, Bath Barbers Company on Dorchester Street (opposite the railway station) grew from their trainee barber beginnings at Saville Row into a business partnership of more than 25 years. They bought the shop when Mike was 20 and Colino 21—using parental guarantors for the loan—and worked six to seven days a week (including cleaning on Sundays) to build the business after it had been opened 18 months earlier.
