It is with considerable pleasure and excitement that we can announce the schools from which a team has won a place at the regional finals of our prestigious Enterprise Challenge competition.
Each of the successful teams impressed the judges with their confidence, originality and quality of their business idea and will now have the chance to compete against their peers from across the region.
