The Repair Shop expert flooded with support as he shares reality of 'sad and compromising' move away from workshop in emotional video to fans
An expert from The Repair Shop has been flooded with support after sharing the reality of a 'sad and compromising' move away from the workshop. Metal works expert Dominic Chinea, 39 - who has been on the BBC show since 2017 - opened up about his new life in the south west in a recent YouTube video. Dominic took to his account to let fans take part in a Q&A with him and many were interested in his recent move to Cornwall. He read out: 'Why did I move to Cornwall?' Dominic said: 'Oh, that's a really difficult one to start with. I thought we were going to start with easy questions. 'I lived in Kent previously, had a nice garden, nice countryside. It was very nice. But you know what? Why not? From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Really, moving to Cornwall has meant I've got the house, a lovely field I can turn into a nice garden, and, most importantly, a big barn that is now mine, that is my workshop.' But the star feels positive about the move, especially with work. Dominic explained of his old living situation: 'Previously, I rented my old workshop, and every month, I was giving a lot of money to a landlord to rent the space. 'Now it's my space, and whatever I do to it, it's mine, and that is enough of a reason for me. 'Yeah, I will admit there's a lot of work to do, but at least it's mine, and eventually I'll get there, and it will be a decent workshop once again.' Many rushed to the comments section to share the love. 'You are an amazing man Dom, there's no getting away from that. I wish you every success for the future.' 'Thank you Dom for being so honest.' Many rushed to the comments section on YouTube to share their love and support over the move 'Thanks for the insight into your world, Dom. Keep up the good work.' 'If I could give you two thumbs up I absolutely would… good on you Dom, you're an inspiration….' 'Your passion for work and life in general is contagious. Please keep it up.' 'Dom, you are a very talented and brave person. Congratulations on your accomplishments thus far and best of luck to you and Wendy!' The Repair Shop first hit our screens in 2017. There have been 14 successful series over the past eight years. The most recent series premiered back in January this year and sees Dominic joined by an impressive cast of experts. Those include furniture restorer Will Kirk, clockwork expert Steve Fletcher, leather expert Suzie Fletcher and ceramics expert Kirsten Ramsay. It comes after a guest on The Repair Shop fought back tears recounting the death of his 'soulmate' dad - and revealed his heart-wrenching last three words. An episode, which aired last week, saw Will head to Oldham, Greater Manchester, to collect a vintage fruit machine from guest John Geraghty. He explained his father bought it as a birthday and housewarming gift for his mother nearly five decades ago. But his father sadly died not long after in a car crash - having headed out on a mere ten-minute trip, saying the heartbreaking three words: 'I'll be back'.

Shopify Expert Elle McCann Launches Live Workshop to Help eCommerce Store Owners Improve Product Page Performance
Lawrenceburg, TN - June 10, 2025 - Elle McCann, a certified Shopify Expert and founder of Curious Themes, has announced a new live Shopify workshop aimed at helping store owners boost eCommerce sales through effective product page optimization. The event, titled The Ultimate Product Page Makeover Workshop, will take place online on June 24 and offers a practical, step-by-step approach to refining product pages for better performance and conversion rate optimization.

As a recognized Shopify designer and educator, she has supported over 200 businesses since 2013 in improving the effectiveness of their websites using clear, data-backed strategies. A Workshop Rooted in Practical Solutions The two-hour Shopify workshop will guide participants through McCann's signature BUYER Formula, a framework for identifying and fixing common product page issues that often hinder customer engagement. The session will include a downloadable checklist, real-world examples, and live demonstrations to help attendees apply these Shopify tips to their own stores. Designed with small business marketing needs in mind, the training will show participants how to audit their own product pages focusing on layout, images, copy, and load times; and make simple changes that don't require hiring a developer. Registration for the online store makeover workshop is open now at A replay will be made available for those unable to attend live. Responding to Industry Challenges Research shows that over 70% of eCommerce shoppers leave websites without making a purchase, often due to underperforming product pages. Slow load times, unclear product descriptions, and weak visual hierarchy can all negatively impact conversion rates. McCann, an experienced eCommerce expert, developed this workshop in direct response to those trends. 'Even beautifully designed stores can fall short if product pages aren't built with the buyer's experience in mind,' McCann said. 'This session is focused on giving store owners the skills to make targeted improvements that align with how customers shop online.' Her prior workshops and one-on-one consulting services have helped clients achieve noticeable improvements in conversion rate optimization without costly site rebuilds or complicated tools.
