So who will it be then….?!

This week has seen a selection of students from six local secondary schools embarking upon a campaign to become the Stockport Secondary Schools, Young Entrepreneurs of 2009. Armed with a local authority grant of £500 each, groups of students from each of the schools have generated ideas for their own businesses, which they will develop into fully operational enterprises over the coming 10-weeks.
