SPOTLIGHT ON Y O U N G M A S T E R S
SpotlightOn is the new Entrepreneur Country monthly feature which showcases the work of some of the best start up ideas & entrepreneurs in the UK who are under the age of 30 (which we call the Young Masters Community). Our panel of judges will each week be introducing our community to three of Britain’s most talented and exciting young entrepreneurs.
Michael Tinmouth
As Editor of Entrepreneur Country, he takes
the stories behind the
successes to the world through thought leadership, in-depth analysis of current affairs and interviews with the UK’s most successful business builders and exciting start-ups.

Where have you gone for funding and advice? We’ve had great support from the Welsh Assembly, Princes Trust, Shell Live Wire and WelshSparks.
What piece of advice would you give to other young entrepreneurs?
Doug Richard once told me that to run a business you need capital and time, you can’t have one without the other or substitute it for anything
else..and it’s so true! My advice iswatch your costs; ‘a pound NOT spent in the business, is a pound you’ve been relieved of the obligation of earning’, I’m always thinking how far can we get for free– it’s amazing what you can wangle!!
