Entrepreneur and hairdresser Alan, who lived until he was 77 years old, was raised in Cheetham Hill in Manchester, as the son of Gertrude and Sonny Goldstone.<\/p>\n

He spent his hairdressing career across North America, going from Toronto, to Miami and then New York.<\/p>\n

When coming back to the UK, he opened 15 hair salons across Greater Manchester and Lancashire, such as Mr Alan\u2019s in Sale, where he launched a health club and swimming pool.<\/p>\n

He didn’t stop for business there as Alan went on to open a pizzeria in Hale, a charcoal barbecue takeaway in Hyde and a mobile catering firm Papa Alanzo. Then in the 1980s, he began converting Victorian blocks.<\/p>\n

Lauren’s father married his wife Petula two years after he first met her in 1968, who he spent almost 50 years of marriage with. They had two children – Lauren and Jonathan.<\/p>\n
