Entrepreneur Name: Tom Brennan, (Age: 16)

Business Name: Flogging potatoes, Chester, United Kingdom

Tom Brennan, an entrepreneurial teenager has managed to make some money in lockdown, having set up his very own business flogging potatoes - raking in around £1,500 in the process. Tom set up a Facebook page and put out a post announcing his unique business idea, telling social media users he'd be delivering 'locally sourced potatoes' delivered straight to people's doorsteps in eco-friendly brown paper bags. Tom said the venture has become something of a family affair, with sister Molly, 19, often helping deliver and bag potatoes, along with dad Mike, 48, while his granddad Peter, 72, takes him to pick up the potatoes.
