#218 – David Hennighan: 43 Years, Two Chippies, and a Life in Fish & Chips

Mark Petrou sits down with David Hennighan of Hennighan's in Machynlleth, Mid Wales—one of the most grounded and quietly inspiring voices in the fish and chip industry. With 43 years in the trade, David shares how a short-term plan to help his parents turned into a lifelong career across two shops, a hardware store, a garden centre, and even an ice cream parlour. They discuss everything from managing VAT and staying affordable for the community to judging national awards and cycling 250 miles for charity at age 60. David also reflects on running a family business with his daughters, adapting to COVID, and why he remains passionate about fish and chips after all these years.
