A young entrepreneur has opened a new carpet showroom in Accrington.
Sadaq Khan, who is a law graduate, said he opened his store in Blackburn Road, opposite the Argos store, after becoming interested in the business as a teenager.
He said: “I used to work alongside my dad when I was younger and found out everything there was to know about carpet fitting.
“The interest stayed with me and after graduating I thought it would be good to open a modern new carpet showroom.
“We are a little different in that we come to your home and go through the samples with you if you are unable to get out to the shop.
"People are so busy these days and also you can compare the samples with your interior design.
“You can just book an appointment and we'll come out at a time that is suited to you.”

Mobile Carpets and Flooring Services takes over the spot which was formerly home to a hairdressers. It has been fully re-fitted and renovated.
Sadaq said: “We had to do some work to make it more suitable for this type of business.
“It is good for the area and for this busy stretch.
“I will be working full-time and I will also have two carpet fitters.
“It is not easy running a business as everyone knows but I think it is really important for towns like Accrington to have new businesses launching and bring something different to the area.”
