An entrepreneur with premises in Sutton has called on local people to support companies in Outram Street, a road he says already has great businesses but also has so much potential.
Rich Gratsa, an ex infantryman in the British Army and a former Wetherspoons manager, now runs Mansfield Sales and Lettings Estate Agents.
Originally from Bawtry, in North Nottinghamshire, Mr Gratsa came to Sutton 16 years ago when he was brought in to run The Picture House in the town centre.
He met his partner, to whom he is now engaged, becoming a stepdad to two children and going on to have his own daughter too.
Three years ago, he set up Mansfield Sales and Lettings Agents. At first, the business was remote but in August of this year it moved into premises in Outram Street.
He is also part of the MSL kitchens Bathrooms and Bedrooms, which is based next door to the estate agents.
People can have pride in Outram Street
But after seeing negative comments on social media about Outram Street, Mr Gratsa is urging people to see the good in the town centre.
He told Mansfield News: βPeople can have pride in Outram Street and look at the good businesses that are there. Yes, it needs investment and support, but there is definitely good that happens there.
βOutram Street used to be the heart of Sutton, and I truly believe it can be again. Weβre not stopping at these two businesses. Weβre investing, growing, and doing our bit to bring pride and life back into the area.β
Referring to his business partner Shaun Carlin, he added: βBut we canβt do it alone. We need the support of the local community to make that change happen.β
And he cited shops such as Bristol’s Early Days as examples of businesses that are popular and bring people into the town centre.
Mr Gratsa, who also has experience in the highly-regulated insurance industry, says that Mansfield Sales and Lettings Agents was βborn out of a dedication to making property transactions seamless. With a passion for understanding client needs, we are committed to providing exceptional customer serviceβ.
