Pupils Pitch Business Ideas to Special Guests

To mark the end of Year 9’s Enterprise rotation, four experts in business visited the school last week to form a panel of judges for our students’ snack-themed business ideas!

Tracy Goad, CEO of plant-based chocolate company, Buttermilk; Johnny Paton, CEO of branding company, Kingdom & Sparrow; Paul Learney, founder of Cultura Live Food; and Dr Nic Hawkins, Cornwall Business School lecturer, sat down with the pupils and offered their expert advice on their proposals.

Indeed, all of the judges were full of praise for the students and their innovative ideas, commenting on their fantastic ability to pitch ideas and how they would employ the young entrepreneurs in the future!

Well done everyone!
