General Manager, Neil Churchill said ‘We have been extremely impressed with the level of work and commitment the students have put into their business ideas and how well planned they have been. It is inspiring for us to know that there are budding young entrepreneurs on our doorstep ready for the challenge of running their own business and with some fantastic ideas. We wish all of the students the best of luck as they go on to the National Finals and hope the experience they have had here at Southside has helped give them an understanding of the selling process’.The Young Enterprise Company are a national charity which gives 15-18 year olds the opportunity to set up and run their own business with local companies for one year, with the support of local business advisers.
