He's better known for his big money deals, but Dan says it's working with his local Yorkshire community that gives him the most satisfaction
"Martin gives you facts about the situation we’re in and how to address it with the suppliers."How can you take advantage of that and make as much money as possible?’ We compliment each other.”But he is set on staying in Yorkshire and if he branches out, he would look at setting up stores in Leeds, Huddersfield or Wakefield."I love the shop in Sheffield and I have an office in London,” says Dan who splits his life between the two cities.
He stays with his fiance Joff Powell half the week when he is in London then Joff and Dan live in Sheffield the rest of the week, enjoying dog walks in the Peak District, close to their three-bed cottage in Dore.“I always feel like I’m home when I am back in Yorkshire,” Dan says. “Yorkshire people are the best. We like to take things slower.”
When I speak to Dan, Joff has been busy organising a surprise 40th birthday treat for him as well as completing the London Marathon in aid of SEED, an eating disorder charity.Dan isn’t spending his life driving around in Rolls Royce’s and Lamborghinis, even though often people think he lives a lavish lifestyle.“I have a nice comfortable life, he says. “Many of the wealthy clients I work with are time poor and don’t have time to enjoy their valuables.
Among the more unusual items he says people have tried to trade with him are a cast of singer Justin Bieber’s genitalia and a macabre bottle of bath water, allegedly from the tub in which singer Whitney Houston died.“One thing I am trying to take to the people of the country, particularly Yorkshire, is that we've got to start rummaging through our goods, looking under our beds.He adds: “We are a nation of collectors...We collect everything and anything.
