Teenager started Yorkshire brownie business in mum's spare bedroom with £500 and it is now worth £500,000

A Yorkshire entrepreneur, who began a £500 start-up in his mum's spare bedroom, plans to sell to big UK retailers this year.

George Welton, 31, who lives in Moortown, Leeds, set up Brown & Blond Make Brownies 13 years ago, when he was just 18-year-old living in his mum's house in York and it has been running ever since.

The company sells to wholesalers across the country with huge plans to launch into supermarket chains this summer. They are also well known for their delicious sweet treats at food markets across the UK - they also sell online.
