A 23-year-old who set up her first business when she was still a sixth form student now has two successful companies.
Ella Deakin, from Melling in Merseyside, runs a glamorous sleepover business and a pamper parlour for young girls who want to be treated on special occasions.
The young entrepreneur was inspired by a trip to Australia when she attended a teepee party, and decided to set up a similar enterprise in the UK after realising there was a gap in the market.
Despite the fact that she felt people didn't take [her] seriously at first, she is now the proud owner of two Merseyside-based businesses - her original venture Teepee Sleepee and Ella Bella's.
