A Quick Chat with
Benjamin Comstive Benjamin Comstive is the manager of The Potting Shed and The Firepit
Favourite place to hang around in Bingley? It’s got to be St Ives. I love to get away from the stress of running a business in the beautiful surroundings. I’m lucky because round the back of the Potting Shed and the FirePit is such a beautiful area, it’s nice being on your own, in that open space.
Local event you couldn’t live without? Bingley Music Live. I’m particularly looking forward to this year’s line up with Kaisers Chiefs, Pete Doherty and Maximo Park. We’re hoping the Potting Shed & FirePit can do something big with festival this year; watch this space...
Local business you admire Big Issue in the North. I worked for them for four years as an outreach support worker. I’ve always admired what they do for homeless people I just think it’s such a good scheme.
Local person you most admire? My mum. She has been a strong figure in my life and a great role model and has provided me with the platform to be where I am now.
Name a guilty pleasure Haribo Starmix - love them jelly sweets. Keep them away from me.
