Marc and I have been talking about generation Y and the different approach they have to life, work and the future.

"Owning your own business is no longer the preserve of older employees with decades of work experience," pointed out Chris Humphries, director general of City & Guilds. "Starting a business is highly appealing to today's youth who long to be their own boss and set their own agenda."
