Dacorum area Young Enterprise Final 2012
2nd April 2012
Mike Penning was one of the judges at the Young Enterprise Dacorum Final 2012. The event which was held at the Apsley Papertrail on 26th March was organised by Young Enterprise and sponsored by RSK Group.
The overall winner was Element from Berkhamsted School which produced and sold community coupons with an aim to 'save the high street' and runner up was Supernova from JFK who sold snap-on watches which can be written on - a new concept in note taking.
Mike Penning said:
“I was very impressed with the entries and the enthusiasm and professionalism of the students taking part. I would encourage all schools to take part.”
