FROME College sixth form students, Jake Howell, Charlie Sloan and Ben Manning who make up the Home Guardian team, were recently awarded second prize in the national enterprise competition ‘Making Business Happen’.
The competition is organised annually by the University of South Wales and this year attracted over 300 entrants from across the UK.
This is the second year in a row that Frome College has had a team winning this runner-up prize, with the Plant Notes team winning the prize last year.
Home Guardian were awarded the prize of £1,500. Some of the funds will be used by the College to purchase a 3D printer for the team and for future enterprise projects. The team will also receive business mentoring and hope to enter the competition again next year.
The judges were extremely impressed with their proposal, their professional presentation and their business skills.
Congratulations go to all of them on such an outstanding achievement and all at the College wish them good luck for the future.
