The Young
The inaugural Young Enterprise Grampian Awards, held in 2008, were an overwhelming success for both Young Enterprise and for organiser’s cushydoos. Its success paved the way for the event in 2009 and we are now, unbelievably, looking towards 2010!
Without the fantastic interest in the event and support from the local business community the Awards would never have happened. In 2008 we were delighted to welcome special guest judge and after dinner speaker Mr Doug Richard of BBC’s hit entrepreneurial series ‘Dragons’ Den’ and in 2009, fellow ex-Dragon Richard Farleigh.
The true stars of the evening are of course the students who are there to celebrate the culmination of a year of hard-work and challenges, the likes of which they will have never experienced before.
Since the awards were launched in 2008 student uptake in the scheme has more than doubled with the 2009/2010 intake having the most student companies entering yet. This is true testament to the excitement and buzz that has been created by the awards event. The students have a reinforced sense of purpose and pride that the ‘real’ business community are interested in their entrepreneurial spirit and are making a bit of a ‘song and dance’ about their achievements!
