Business Studies students impress YES Judges
Students taking senior Business Studies get the opportunity to participate in the Young Enterprise Scheme which allows students to form groups and bring a sustainable product to market, making real money.
Molly Macpherson, Jayden Lancaster & Rory Perrin have worked hard this year and have created a business around selling extended cup holders for larger drink bottles that fit in your car. They've been very successful, selling large amounts at BP West Melton and in person. They're big on sustainability and producing an environmentally friendly product. They pitched well to the YES Judges and the judges commented afterwards that they've developed a great product that has wide reach. They also commented on their impressive networks and partnerships they've formed to help their business.
Chloe Cameron, Lilly Gilbertson & Lily Payton have also worked well this year, forming a business around genuine leather keychains, appealing to those in and from rural communities. Building on the iconic ear tag style, these girls have produced a high quality product and are selling well. They pitched well to the YES Judges and the judges commented afterwards that the product was well suited to the target market and have used their abilities and resources well in their business venture.
