Mr Knighton said: “I was a full time carer for 10 years and the person I care for struggles with her mental health so we got a dog and I got really attached to the dog in the end.
“I was looking to buy dog treats and all I could find was wet dog food and I couldn’t find anything like our biscuits and cakes. So, I scoured the UK and I ended up finding absolutely loads of different stuff that is not available in Blackpool so I decided to launch the Woof Truck Bike.”

Mr Knighton has been a live-in carer for the last 10 years for a girl who has multiple health problems and has had to under-go numerous surgeries. After struggling to find support in Solihull in Birmingham they both moved to Blackpool where they were able to receive more support and Mr Knighton was free to start working on his own business, the Woof Truck.
Mr Knighton: “We have got over a thousand followers on Tik Tok for the Woof Truck in one week. We have sourced the dog treats from all over the UK and we are only selecting the best products.

Mr Knighton’s Brazilian stretched beach cruiser from the early 2000s has been customised and designed by local Blackpool graffiti artist Graffiti Pro.
He also has plans to livestream on social media him going around Blackpool selling the dog treats and is hoping to collaborate with local businesses as well.
