Nine groups of Level 5 (second year) undergraduate students from Liverpool Business School have been working with a team of local mentors on the Young Enterprise Start-Up Programme since September 2012. As part of the assessment process the groups will be presenting their businesses at a trade fair. Please come along and find out about their ideas. The students are keen to gain feedback and, of course, drum up some potential customers for their ventures!

LJMU tutors and Young Enterprise will be on hand to answer your questions if you want to get involved with the programme as a mentor. Tea and coffee will be available on the day.

For more information please email Sally Partington in the Centre for Entreprenurship at s.partington@ljmu.ac.uk 

We do hope that you can join us!

Undergraduates to represent the North West at national Young Enterprise competition

2 groups of business-savvy students from LJMU have seen off competition from hundreds of other North West students to win through to the national finals of the national Santander supported Young Enterprise Start Up competition.

The Teabox Company, an online tea business selling high-quality, loose-leaf tea, will go up against ten student companies from across the UK after taking part in the Young Enterprise scheme to set up their own business for a year with the help of business mentors.

Two LJMU teams who are studying on the Graduate Enterprise module, led by Janet Farrow and Chris Taylor from the Liverpool Business School, in conjunction with Young Enterprise and the LJMU Centre for Entrepreneurship, took part in the North West Finals.
