Business ideas
Alan Foster was a student with us last year studying for the BTEC National Certificate in Business. During the time he was on the course, he set up and ran a website selling mugs, scarves and general gifts which had been personalised. Alan took part in Enterprise Week 2006 which started him thinking about what he was doing, and then his idea was developed through studying business enterprise embedded in to the course. He is now at university whilst still running his website business.

Fernando traded up from a green paper clip to a sofa. This was then auctioned off and all the proceeds went to Barnardos.
