This is Ollie. He's only 10 but has already saved £2,500 towards his own home 😯
Inspired by his great-grandad William who built houses, Ollie wants to follow in his footsteps.
And he's already started his own carpentry business - an idea which came after getting a toolkit for his eighth birthday.
Ollie said: “Today I sold two woodwork coasters with wood-burnt etchings on them. They’re £1.50 each.
“I’ve learnt how to do a lot of stuff for my age. I’ve learnt how to use saws, nails, hammers, screwdrivers and measuring wood. I’ve been learning how to get my drawings straighter for my designs.
He's been saving up his money from his business, birthdays and pocket money over the last few years to fulfil his dream.
Proud mum Millie said: “It makes me feel really, really proud. I’m very grateful to my mum because my mum helps him with his business"
Well done Ollie 👏
