‘Twice as Cosy’, our Young Enterprise team, recently presented at the county final stage of the Young Enterprise company programme at Chesterfield Football Club. Students have met weekly during the year, developing their product (cushions made from recycled t-shirts) and growing as a real business, complete with company directors and shareholders.
Students set up a trade stall to showcase and sell their products at the indoor Chesterfield market in March. During this time, judges visited their stand to assess their branding, sales techniques, and customer service, as well as asking them a range of challenging questions. The team enjoyed the day, displayed an excellent relationship with customers and impressive marketing techniques. They then faced judges’ interviews, followed by the final presentation. This was a professional pitch that really showed how great the team’s journey has been and how much they had taken from this experience. They won the ‘Sustainability Award,’ an award they are very proud of.
