Donnamarie, who set up the business three years ago with James Young, said the firm was expanding from its Burnley roots to Blackpool with plans to open another office in Lytham.

She said: “We’d been planning the launch for several months, and we had kept news of Tyson’s attendance top secret.

“We couldn’t wait to reveal him as our special guest on the night and were especially excited to introduce him to our children and certain staff members who are huge Fury fans.

"As we got closer to the launch date, however, we knew that an official launch party was not going to happen.”

Remaining positive, the company forged ahead with its launch plans and last week the Blackpool team were in carrying out training ready to start speaking with clients this week.

James said: “The team have been incredibly positive and were all ready to start work while maintaining strict Covid-19 restrictions.

“We’re really disappointed we didn’t get the chance to celebrate with our existing team from our Burnley offices and our new recruits in Blackpool, but we will as soon as possible; and hopefully Tyson Fury will be able to join us in person then.”
