A NEW dog grooming studio opened last month in Trowbridge town centre.

Blobblob’s Hound Hut, based in Church Walk, is run by Roger Daffurn, 35, who has a City & Guilds dog grooming qualification.

Mr Daffurn has previously undergone work experience at Top Dog, in Melksham, and took dog grooming bookings at his home in College Road before setting up his salon.

“In my first week, I had 14 bookings just from people who had walked by and from word of mouth,” Mr Daffurn said.

The name for Mr Daffurn’s new business was inspired by his six-year-old Staffordshire bull terrier, Blobblob, who is often seen walking with his owner through the town, wearing a brown leather jacket.
