This week whilst working I came across this innovative idea from Basildon Council. A youth market for aspiring entrepreneurs for people aged 13 to 25. What an awesome idea to find our next generation of shop keepers and small business owners. It's a really exciting idea that this could give the younger generation a platform to showcase their ideas and talents.

I know there are youngsters out there just waiting to be given the chance to show their entrepreneurial side!
