Guernsey Young Enterprise Awards
A GROUP of potential publishers swept the board last night at the Guernsey Young Enterprise Awards.
Company Dot.Ink made up of local teenagers designed a magazine for schools as well as holding disco events won four awards at the ceremony last night. These included best company, best managing director and the award for IT innovation.
Sixteen year old Rosie Armstrong was the MD and said that despite arguments and the setbacks it was worth all the hard work.
The company set out to bring pupils from different schools together which they achieved through the magazine and the discos. One of the benefits of taking part in the Guernsey Young Enterprise project is that it helps young people develop soft skills and become more confident dealing with each other and adults in the business environment.
All of the five company’s had to give a presentation and were all of a very high standard, they were all creative and engaging and in some cases very entertaining
Another highlight of the evening was the presentation given by Team 21 who were part of the programme for special needs students. Dot.Ink will now compete against the top Jersey YE firm for the right to represent the Channel Islands in the regional finals.
