Bulletguy Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 A former Big Issue vendor now runs his own multi-million pound business in the fight against fast fashion. Philip Waltham sold the magazine for three years in Clerkenwell and Hampstead in London after running away from Hull as a teen to escape his drug addiction. The 44-year-old’s sustainable fashion firm, Bulk Vintage Wholesale, now turns over £9 million a year. ‘The thing that has saved my life is selling second-hand clothes and I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for The Big Issue.’ After his three years as a Big Issue vendor, Philip opened a market stall in Camden, London, and now oversees two high street stores in Newcastle and York. https://tinyurl.com/25sk86vr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
