This year's companies

Our two Young Enterprise teams are ICE and BLOQUE. Over the past few months students have been running weekly board meetings, writing business plans/company reports, preparing financial statements, managing money, marketing and selling at trade fairs. To be successful the students have had to work together as a team and learn how to communicate effectively.

Twenty teams from schools across Chester attended the final presentation evening in a very plush lecture theatre at the Bank of America. View an album of photos. The company trading as ICE, managed by Simon Younger and Max Ankers, took first prize for the Best Company report and also were awarded the Best Company overall which means they now go forward to the next round. This is a fantastic achievement and is testimony to the hard work of the whole team. To maintain enthusiasm and commitment for a project which runs this long, alongside AS exam pressures indicates just what can be achieved.

What is Young Enterprise?
Founded in 1963, UK registered charity Young Enterprise runs a range of business and enterprise education programmes for more than 150,000 young people each year through the support of 2000+ businesses and 11,500+ volunteers.

The Young Enterprise programme range offers students the opportunity to run a real company in Company Programme, Team Programme and Graduate Programme; and to learn about aspects of business from the first hand experiences of volunteers in Primary Programme, Project Business and Entrepreneurship Masterclass.

Young Enterprise UK is made up of 12 regional organisations each operating under a license agreement with Young Enterprise UK. Each Young Enterprise Region is run by an elected Board of Directors and the Regional Chair holds a seat on the UK Board.

Young Enterprise operates through support from the business community and the Government. This support is provided in a variety of forms: financial, in-kind, and through the provision and encouragement of volunteers. The businesses and volunteers that support Young Enterprise take an active role in building a better-motivated, educated and enterprising workforce, at the same time making a real difference to the existing lives and future potential of young people who live and attend school in their area.

The Young Enterprise Mission:
to inspire and equip young people
to learn and succeed
through enterprise.

The Young Enterprise Vision:
That all young people will have the opportunity
to gain personal experience of how business works,
understand the role it plays in providing employment
and creating prosperity, and be inspired
to improve their own prospects, and
the competitiveness of the UK.
