Arguably Britain's best artisan-chocolatier, Paul A Young creates his handmade wares using the finest ingredients. His chocolates have until recently been available only in his stores in London's Soho and Camden and in the City at The Royal Exchange. Now, however, they can also be ordered using Hubbub, a courier service working with independent local companies, meaning those with a sweet tooth can have award-winning fresh-filled chocolates, bars, boxes and brownies delivered within 24 hours.
