Rebecca's business idea is always front page news!

23 year old Rebecca Philipson has her grandfather to thank for the business idea that she has turned into a multi-million pound business in just two years.

Founded in 2005, UR-In The Paper has revived an old seaside tradition of making personalised "newspapers" for presents and mementos. And in doing so, Rebecca has seen her business grow from a one woman band to a business employing ten other people and turning over a million pound plus.

Rebecca makes personalised newspaper front and back pages - printed on genuine newsprint and featuring your story. A perfect gift that can be framed for a birthday or other special occasion. And you can also buy a front and back page "wrap" to wrap around a real newspaper.

for you to Rebecca, 23, said: "My grandfather told me about people who made newspapers on Blackpool Pier as presents and how you don't get them any more. So I decided to make my own."

Last month the business signed a deal with Tesco Online and Rebecca is working with WH Smith to get UR-In The Paper sold in its stores for Christmas.

"Winning was a huge honour for me and the business really took off after such brilliant publicity," said Rebecca who won the People's Choice Enterprising Young Brit award in 2006.
