By Amy PhippsA chocolatier, who set up a business during the Covid-19 pandemic, has been praised for helping draw shoppers into a town.

He started off doing online sales but then opened a shop on Bath Street in Ashby-De-La-Zouch in Leicestershire.Mr Tiplady said the business idea started when he began experimenting with his wife's chocolate tempering machine.
