Enterprise UK Blog

Ok I’m going a little bit blog crazy today but like a proud buddy (adpotive mother) I had to share this little nugget of joy.

Unbeknown to my team, in the next half hour of this interview they would be anounced the winners of the 16-19 category of the Make Your Mark Challenge. Having just pitched in front of a panel of fierce judges (I must say I was scared) and seeing the standard of the other teams they were feeling aprehensive but optimistic. What a great bunch they were and I’m really pleased they won.

Will we see their idea up and running soon? Very possibly, as London Metropolitain University also very kindly offered some business masterclasses and hard cash to send them on their way. Their comapny ‘True London Tours’ will train homeless people to provide tours around London during the Olympics, so look out for them at 2012!

Scan & Play from Highcliffe School in Devon also did very well coming third in the same category with their social networking site to encourage young people to participate in sport by awarding points every time they participate in a sport.

Good Luck and Well done guys! x
