Young entrepreneur Oliver Bruce, 19, launches second business

Oliver Bruce, 19, has set up his second business
YOUNG entrepreneur Oliver Bruce will launch his second business this month at the tender age of 19.
PinPointGlos is a website providing information for the perfect day out, including restaurants, taxi companies and hotels.
It is aimed at students and young adults and provides virtual maps, video clips, star ratings and testimonials.
Oliver, of Chalford Hill, Stroud has spent the past four months recruiting businesses to feature on the site whilst studying for his degree in television production at Gloucestershire University.
He said 'Trying to sell a product that hasn't launched yet is like trying to sell ice to the eskimos, but I find the challenge the most exciting part.
"I have enjoyed checking out the best pubs and hotels in Gloucestershire and have been amazed at the diversity of locations and stunning resources in the area.
"In ten years time I hope to have franchised the PinPoint brand across the UK".
Cheltenham Racecourse and the Gloucester Guildhall were among the first to sign up to the site.
Oliver is also the founder of Straightline Productions, a media production company based in Stroud, which he set up when he was 17 years old.
PinPointGlos will be formally launched later this month.
