    It’s great to see more young guys start up their own business, going to university university isn’t always the best option. I started when I was 18, three years on and I’m still smiling today. But who knows, what the new years will bring.

    Good luck to him. Now he just has to face the challenge of age. this is a tough industry for young owners. i should know as i bought my newsagency at 25, I am now 33 and still face challenges today. Especially at Industry related meetings where you still get treated like a schoolboy. This is an industry where we need new young blood as we are viewed as a grey hair industry.
