2. Henry Patterson, Not Before Tea.
Insights from a Young Entrepreneur. Sunday, 11.30 - 12.00
Henry Patterson is no ordinary schoolboy. At just nine, he founded Not Before Tea, a unique children's brand specialising in traditional sweets, games and gifts. He's since written a book, The Adventures of Sherb and Pip, and opened his very own bricks-and-mortar store. Indeed, when he's not appearing on the One Show, chatting to Richard Branson or designing his own products, Henry can be found manning the till - with a little help from imaginary friends Mrs Pinny, Sherb the Owl and Pip the mouse, of course. This February, the remarkable young entrepreneur will share his story with Bubble. Eat your heart out, Richard!
