Young Enterprise: Company Of The Year Competition

At the YE Company Programme Competition first round at White & Case LLP offices on 24 April our teams, having worked hard on their company reports, impressed the judges with their answers at the interviews and having given super slick presentations of their company story to the audience, swept the board! TeeMotion were awarded the Team Journey Award and came Best Company Runner Up in this round, recognising how hard they have had to work to pull together as a team from two schools. Charms & Co received the Marketing and the Best Presentation awards and were awarded Best Company. Both teams then progressed to the North London Region final at Samsung KX on 8 May.

The competition at the North London final was tough: 2 companies from each of the 4 areas fought hard for the awards. Our teams have gone from strength to strength during the process and the culmination for each team was their live presentation to a packed audience and the judges. Each team was complimented for their different strengths and qualities and Charms & Co came away with the well-deserved Marketing Award.

The final stage of each team’s journey is to sell all remaining stock, maximise their profits and reflect on both their team and individual journeys through this life changing opportunity.

Look out for their professional looking bracelets and new necklace range and customisable hand printed T-shirts at Fair in The Square on Saturday 7 June. Both teams are still happy to accept pre-orders and can create customised items to your specifications. They will also be selling at school during June so check out their products via Instagram at Charms & Co and TeeMotion.
