A passion for chocolate

Dean Pollard is seventeen and he runs a successful business, making delicious chocolates. Dean has made chocolates since he was ten years old, but he didn’t plan to make money from them at first. He just wanted to give his grandma something special for her birthday. He found that he enjoyed making chocolates and he soon started winning competitions. His parents were just pleased that his hobby didn’t have a bad effect on his school work.

   In the beginning , dean just made chocolates for family and friends and he never asked for any money. But at the age of fifteen he decided to turn his passion into business, so he set up a website. He kept his prices quite low, and the first weekend the website came online he was so busy that his parents had to help out so there were enough chocolates for all the customers! He soon decided to put his prices up!

    Dean makes a huge range of chocolates with different flavours and he’s especially proud of his more unusual flavours like his lemon coconut creams. Mint and strawberry are the most popular flavours with customers, but Dean is particularly proud of his honey and chilli chocolate, not because it makes a lot of money for him, but because it was the first flavor that he developed himself.

   So, what are Dean’s plans for the summer? A local chocolate-maker in his town has offered him the chance to work for them during the summer holiday, but Dean isn’t interested in the job. He really wants to spend the summer working on some exciting new flavours for his chocolates. “My friends have invited me to go to France with them , but I’m just too busy”, he says. “Maybe next year!”
