Local Success Story: Meet Jack Ballard: The 16-Year-Old Entrepreneur Driving Success in Northampton’s Car Valeting Scene

At just 16 years old, Jack Ballard is making a name for himself as a trusted and hardworking car valeter and detailer in Northampton.

Jack founded That Car Washing Guy in April 2023, and in under two years, he has washed more than 500 cars, with many happy customers returning for his top-quality service.

In 2024 alone, his first full year in the trade, Jack valeted an impressive 416 cars. Grateful for the overwhelming support, he recently took to social media to thank his loyal customers for helping him grow his business.

Jack’s entrepreneurial journey started early—his first social media post about his venture went live when he was just 14 years old. Two days later, he completed his first job, proving that hard work, consistency, and customer satisfaction are key to success.

Jack’s story is a testament to determination and ambition. He’s not just washing cars—he’s building a reputation as a young business owner with a bright future ahead.
