Flashpoint Photography began trading the previous October after the Lower Sixth Form students were inspired by the Lincolnshire Young Enterprise Scheme to start up their own business.

Wes Roberts, one of the company’s 17-year-old directors, said: “There were quite a lot of start-up costs, buying the photography equipment and so on, but we’re into profit now, which I reckon is pretty good after just a few months.”
