Living Ventures’ Tim Bacon fighting cancer
TIM Bacon, the founder of Living Ventures, has revealed he is fighting cancer.
The Cheshire-based entrepreneur behind popular Manchester restaurants and bars including The Alchemist, Artisan and Manchester, as well as a number of other brands, is being treated for melanoma.
The 50-year-old was first treated for non-Hodgkins lymphoma 14 years ago, but has now developed advanced melanoma and is being treated at the Christie Hospital in Manchester.
He is trialling a new drug and has had several operations in the last few weeks.
He said: “It’s business as usual. there are plenty of treatments to go at. I believe if you can find a way through it you will find a way through it.”
