HE worked at Southamptons famous Ford plant for nearly a quarter of a century before the factory doors slammed shut last year.

Now Mark McDonald is striking out on his own after buying a franchise in a city-based window cleaning company.

Having been made redundant when the Swaythling Ford factory closed down, he is venturing out into the business world with Perfect Windows.

The 50-year-old, from Regents Park in Southampton, had spent 23 years with Ford before deciding to set up on his own following redundancy.

He said: Following a long career at Ford, I viewed redundancy as an opportunity to chase my dream of working for myself.

I was introduced to Perfect Windows at a job fair organised by Ford and was really impressed with how professional and busy they are.

Launched at the end of 2013, Marks business covers most of Southampton. He added: Most people struggle to find a reputable and reliable window cleaning company; I certainly have over the years.

"What attracted me to running my own business with them is that providing first-rate customer service is just as important to the company as delivering a quality cleaning service.
