SOUTH Dorset MP Jim Knight wielded the scissors for the first cut at a new hairdressing salon and florist in Weymouth.
He performed the honours at the Jackaranda Florist and Eastside Barbers on Portland Road in Wyke Regis.
Sean and Jacqueline Davis invited Mr Knight to the businesses for the ceremonies.
The husband and wife have opened the businesses in the former pet shop on the road.
They said: “We have worked very hard to get the shops up and running.
“We want to show that through hard work and determination to succeed, anything is possible in such bleak times.”
