UK's teenage chocolate entrepreneur

A 15-year-old, who set up his chocolate business in his parents' garage a year ago, has begun selling his treats in supermarkets.

Louis Barnett, from Shropshire, began by making chocolate for his friends and family in a garage, but he quickly realised his product was in demand.

His business, Chokolit, bloomed and he now has a factory in Bridgenorth.

Since August the company has supplied 36,000 boxes of chocolates to around a 1,000 delis and he has recently signed contracts to supply Sainsbury's and Waitrose.

Louis's Parents have both been involved in the project, but the teenager is very much in charge.

And for all his hard work, Louis has been nominated for a Young Entrepreneur of the Year award.
