YOung Enterprise win 'Best Overall Company' award

Published on isbi School News dated Wednesday 22nd of May 2013

THIS year Taunton School has run two YE companies, with over 30 Year 12 students embarking on the programme back in September.

The competition, which involves setting up and running a business, producing a business report, a trade display stand and making a presentation to the judges, reached the Somerset County finals stage this week, with the Holiday Inn, Taunton proving to be an excellent venue.

Mojo, led very ably by Alex Willes, had developed a multi-lingual book aimed at early prep school age children. They performed well at the finals but unfortunately, even a star appearance by Mojo himself was not enough to catch the judges' eye.

Reminisce, with joint Managing Directors, Izzy Badcock and Alec Young, however, were well focused on the event and their successful sports photography venture landed them the 'Best Overall Company' award. They now progress to the South West Regional Finals in June at Bristol University
