Single mum Donna Ward is a shining example that you can become a success if you've got grit and determination. Nottingham's self-proclaimed Candy Queen says that it's not where you start it's where you finish as she pushes ahead with growing her business.
The 39-year-old makes fruit more enticing by adding a naughty twist. Since starting Candy Apple Couture Donna had gone from cheesecake-stuffed apples to gourmet chocolate strawberries and now her latest, the American trend of candy-dipped grapes - with vodka-infused ones for the adults.
As well as selling online, Donna takes her fruity treats to West Bridgford farmers' markets, where the products sell for £6 to £10. The mum-of-five was unemployed before launching her business in 2015.
