Bait business wins award
A Lincolnshire fisherman has hooked the top prize in a business award.

Nicholas Stevenson from Alvingham near Louth, won £500 after winning the Prince's Trust Business of the Year award for the East Midlands.

The 24-year-old started his bait business just three years ago.

The award recognises his strength of character in overcoming agoraphobia to turn his hobby into a successful business.

He specialises in baits freshly prepared on site which are shipped all over Europe.

It is now such a success the firm has even started printing their own t-shirts for regular customers.
