I was proud of what we decided and made together. We had a lot of fun, learnt and grew from the experience. It was the people, the teamwork, and the motivational aspects of it that stuck with me. Initiating something and then seeing it through is really rewarding.

Our team made Chistmas crackers and candles
Nick Humby


The company programme  gave me a taster of what it would be like to work in an organisation where you have to rely on other people and that you can't achieve it all by yourself.
Toby Mckechnie


An excellent opportunity for me to develop business and managerial skills in a safe but genuinely commercial environment and it fostered strong team working, communications and decision-making skills which have stood me in very good stead since then.
Catherine Alpass


I remember it being a wonderful experience - full of hard work but also full of laughs and fun.
Kathryn Bythell


I owe a lot of skills, as well as the desire to run my own business, all to the Young Enterprise scheme.
Bob Churchill


We enjoyed the collaborative experience and I'm proud that we produced a unique product that reflected our creativity, drive and humour!
Stephen Chynoweth


Taking part in the Young Enterprise programme I feel has benefited me in later life.
Sara Hughes


I definitely think that Young Enterprise is a good thing to become involved in at school and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone considering it.
Fay Colbeck


The best lesson that I learnt from the experience was a commitment to entrepreneurship and a strong desire to set up and run my own company. I wouldn't be my own boss now if it weren't for Young Enterprise.
Adam Cox


Confidence, Confidence, Confidence! It also taught me who I am, and if you truly want something the sky is the limit!
Michelle Lamb


All in all, a great experience and I'd recommend it to anyone. The experience gained has proved invaluable when working on group projects at university or when delivering an important presentation.
Andrew Fanko


I love Young Enterprise
Paul Robinson


It gave each of us confidence, especially when facing the corporate world in pursuit of work upon completing university.
Jane Grewar



Ed Plowman


I think the decision to start my current company was definitely made easier from my experience with Young Enterprise. I thought - "If we made a profit when I was 18 years old - I don't see why I can't do the same now."
Paul Lawton


Young Enterprise really helped my client communication skills! Now I am running a small company, which creates and sells businesses.
Jonathan Fianu


I had always been pushed into getting a job, not making one. Young Enterprise opened my eyes to the possibilities.
Sarah Hodgson


Young Enterprise showed how to get started, where to get help from, how to manage people and clients and how to analyse your progress. I still use those skills today.
