Angus Copelin-Walters
The young entrepreneur with a sweet heart

Age is often considered a barrier to entrepreneurship, but Angus Copelin-Walters is proving that determination knows no bounds. At just seven years old, Angus embarked on a remarkable journey that captured the attention of business moguls, politicians, and even royalty. Meet the young visionary behind Croc Candy, a company that's not just about sweets but also about making a sweet difference in the lives of others.

Angus's entrepreneurial adventure began when he didn’t even know what being an entrepreneur was. His mission was simple: to help people. Like many of us, he yearned to make a difference in the world, but there was one significant obstacle in his way—he didn't have any money to give. This predicament led him to take matters into his own hands. Angus decided to start his own business around what he loved: Helping people and candy!

At the tender age of seven, Angus founded Croc Candy, a confectionery company with a twist. His idea was not just to create delicious candies but also to use the proceeds for a noble cause. Angus's mission was clear: to make a positive impact on the lives of those less fortunate.

Angus's unique approach to entrepreneurship caught the eye of numerous influential figures. Sir Richard Branson, renowned entrepreneur and founder of the Virgin Group, applauded Angus's passion and dedication to making the world a better place. He recognized that Angus's entrepreneurial spirit was not only inspiring but also a testament to the fact that age is no barrier to success.

In his homeland of Australia, Angus's venture didn't go unnoticed either. The former Prime Minister of Australia took a keen interest in his story, commending his determination and commitment to philanthropy. Angus became an inspiration not only to aspiring entrepreneurs but also to the nation, proving that even the youngest members of society can create positive change.

Angus's story transcended borders, reaching the United Kingdom, where he garnered the admiration of none other than the UK's Prime Minister, Boris Johnson. Boris praised Angus for his dedication to giving back to society and recognized him as a shining example of the impact one individual can make.

Perhaps the most remarkable recognition came from the late Queen of England herself. Her Majesty, known for her commitment to various charitable causes, appreciated Angus's noble endeavors and his dedication to helping those in need. Angus's story truly touched the heart of the monarch, reinforcing the idea that age is irrelevant when it comes to making a difference.

Croc Candy's core value is to give back, and this principle is at the heart of Angus's journey. He understands firsthand the challenges faced by children with dyslexia, as he himself grappled with this, what he has renamed as his “Superpower”. Determined to make a meaningful impact, he decided to donate most of his profits to support children like him, providing them with resources and opportunities to overcome their challenges and learn to reclaim those challenges as “Superpowers” of their own.

Angus's father, a key supporter of his entrepreneurial journey, emphasized that academic success is not the sole measure of a person's potential. He wisely remarked, "Some people don't do well at school, but they're quite successful at business." Angus's story is social proof that success can be achieved through creativity, determination, and a heart filled with compassion and he is an inspiration showing young entrepreneurs worldwide that they too can chase their dreams while making a difference in the lives of others.

In a world where youth is often underestimated, Angus Copelin-Walters has demonstrated that age is just a number. His remarkable journey with Croc Candy has not only captured the attention of influential figures but also warmed the hearts of people around the globe. Angus reminds us all that it's never too early to start making a positive change in the world.

So, to all the young moguls out there, remember Angus's story. With determination, passion, and a commitment to giving back, you too can carve your own path to success while making the world a sweeter place for everyone.
