Chloe Campbell was 15 when she started waitressing in a cafe in Moray, and now four years later she owns it. Chloe said she had always been good at saving her money, so when the opportunity arose to go from employee to employer at The Coffee Pot in Dufftown she jumped at the chance. She had held onto most of her wages, aside from spending on basics, and the 19-year-old got the keys last month. She said she hoped to one day expand the business. "I was working somewhere else and saw this job, it was just weekends I started off doing, and progressed from there," Chloe recalled of starting at The Coffee Pot. She had saved enough to take it over, and the lease is paid monthly. Chloe said the hardest part was proving to be getting her head around all the paperwork. She said she has six very good employees of various ages. The café sells breakfasts and lunches as well as coffee and sweet treats. "We have a lot of regulars," she said. "Everything is made here. Our cakes are very popular - especially the strawberry tarts." As for expansion, she said: "If the opportunity occurs then I definitely would."
