Teenager starts chocolate factory

Louis Barnett, BBC website

Louis has won contracts to supply supermarkets with his chocolates

A 15-year-old boy with learning difficulties has started his own(private) chocolate factory after winning contracts to supply supermarkets.

Louis Barnett, from Kinver, Staffs, left school aged 11 after being diagnosed with dyslexia and dyspraxia(severe cognitve illnesses affecting knowledge acquisition) and began making chocolates at home.

New contracts have meant he has had to expand his firm Chokolit and has moved to a factory(usine) in Bridgnorth, Shropshire.

He has taken on new staff, including his parents Phil and Mary Barnett.

Louis has been like this right from day one, he is a hard worker and is very enthusiastic about his product

Mary Barnett, mother

Louis said: “I’ve ____________________ been a very ______________ person and _________________where my food ______________from.

“I’ve been ___________ bits of ___________and making ____________with my ____________ since I was ______________four or five and ________________ it was just one of my ________________.

It is an ________________product it’s so many _______________properties and all the ____________that goes with chocolate and I mean they don’t ____________it theobromine for nothing and ____________of the gods . »

Huge risk’

Now he produces hundreds of chocolates and has won contracts to supply Sainsbury’s and Waitrose at Christmas.

His dad Phil quit his job to work with Louis and the 15-year-old’s former home tutor Jan is also employed at the confectionery firm.

Mary Barnett said: “Louis has been like this right from day one, he is a hard worker and is very enthusiastic about his product.

“It’s a huge risk, Phil has given up his job and we’ve put a lot of money in, but we believe that he’ll do it.”
