Sixteen-year-old Roper, who has now founded new business Witty Marketing, said he has built upon his print experience gained with former company LSR Group.

"Global Entrepreneurship Week encourages people to get out there and do something and get all young people enterprising. I am also trying to encourage people to get into print as it is seen as a dying industry," he said.

Roper, who left LSR Group because he wanted to branch out on his own, said he is looking for sponsorship and guidance from a larger print company to help build on the foundations of Witty Marketing and show other young people that it is possible to be in business from a young age.

"We have councils and charities on board already, but I want to grow the business with the help of others in the industry," he added.
