Ken’s award, which shines the spotlight on a business director who has skillfully shaped a red-hot salon business, was presented to him by top TV comic Jimmy Carr.
For 19 years Ken Picton has worked hard to ensure his Cardiff Bay salon is not only a destination hot-spot but also a business force to be reckoned with.
