Jack Cooper, 19, from Hethersett, has opened Supply Norwich at stall 136 and the market is like a family for him more than most as his mum Kim works at The Cuppie Hut just a few rows along.

Mr Cooper, a former pupil at Hethersett High School, began his business on selling site Depop and has now taken his business to the next level.

The stall sells pre-owned skateboards and streetwear, with brands such as Vans and Fred Perry, at affordable prices and customers can also trade-in their old items to earn credit.
