Ride

Periscope is an excellent example of how a great business idea can generate excitement. The video live-streaming app was snapped up by social media giants Twitter before it even launched. Unlike rival apps, Periscope allows video footage to be replayed, making it an instant hit with consumers.

Towers Designs

Launching Towers Designs at just 16 years old, Ben Towers is a prime example that age does not dictate success in business. Towers founded the Kent-based company in September 2011, aged 13, after working as a freelance web designer for two years. Towers then scaled his web design service into a full-scale, multi-channel service which helps “forward-thinking" small and medium businesses to succeed online on a budget. Although his age has made certain aspects of business difficult, and has lost him contracts in the past, Towers has refused to give up and his business turnover is estimated to hit £500,000 bey the end of 2015.
