She told Fabulous: ' I worked for Mercedes Benz of Bristol as a new car sales executive for 5 years. 'The job became more challenging and less enjoyable during the pandemic , it also became harder to make good money so I decided to take the leap and try something new.' Natasha said she got the idea to buy an ice cream van after meeting her partner. Natasha added: 'I actually met my boyfriend Salvatore on the van, although I was the customer. 'He was parked up in my local town and I went to buy an ice cream and ended up with a date, and little did I know a whole change in lifestyle after a while. 'My boyfriend who is a third generation Italian ice cream man is an expert in the field and helped me source and renovate my van. "I went for pink to make it as girly and pretty as possible, as it wasn't my first choice for a career I wanted to put my stamp on it as much as possible." Natasha set up her iCandy Bristol ice cream business in 2021 and hasn't looked back. She added: 'I think my friends, family and former colleagues thought I was crazy. 'Going from what appeared to be a steady professional job, wearing suits and getting a lovely company car to serving ice cream from a pink van and wearing pink crocs daily.' And it's not just the pink van which attracts attention, and being a female ice cream seller does mean she can stand out from the crowd. Natasha){kind=link}
