A former car rental firm manager, used to life on the road, has made a career u-turn and set up a lawn treatment service.
Jonathan Byron has put away his road atlas and become a lawn expert to launch the GreenThumb treatment service. His is the latest branch of GreenThumb, the UK's largest and fastest-growing lawn treatment service.
His patch covers north Oxfordshire and south Warwickshire and stretches from Kidlington to Leamington Spa.
Jonathan said: "I wanted to work for myself and to do something different. I enjoy meeting the public and I love lawns so GreenThumb was the perfect answer.
"The concept is superb. I am not a very keen gardener, but I am proud of my lawn. I used to spend hours trying to make it look good."
Jonathan started his working life as a ski instructor in Meribel and Val d'Isere before joining a car rental company, working his way up to become regional sales manager for National Car Rental.
