On Tuesday 17 March, the group travelled to Bethany School for the South Kent Showcase. The pupils set up their trade stand, which was visited by the judges, before taking part in a panel interview. This was followed by an excellent presentation delivered by Eddie, Jemima, Chloe and Esme, showcasing the hard work, professionalism and creativity of the entire team. They represented the School exceptionally well.

We were delighted that ACCE won both the Best Marketing and Best Presentation awards, a brilliant achievement and well‑deserved recognition of their efforts. The judges, Young Enterprise representatives and staff from other schools shared extremely positive feedback, commenting on the group’s maturity and professionalism throughout.

The next day, the team attended the Young Enterprise Trade Fair at Greenwich Market. The pupils had a productive day, engaging confidently with members of the public and further developing their customer service, sales, teamwork and marketing skills. Their progress was clear to see, with their transferable skills continuing to grow impressively.

The team are now looking forward to building on this success and maximising their sales in the final term of the Young Enterprise programme.
