2008 marks the first year that Polesworth International Language College has entered a team into the West Midlands Young Enterprise Competition. The competition involves students setting up their own business, using their own ideas, raising their own capital by either fund raising events or the selling of shares and finally running the business at a profit. These ideas are then pitched against those of local schools in the West Midlands area

 

Polesworth’s Young Enterprise Team comprises of 9, Year 12, enthusiastic and dedicated budding entrepreneurs . They have created a company called ‘Party Animals’. Party Animals provide a tailor-made, enjoyable and hassle free birthday experience for children aged between 5 and 10 years old. Their mission is to become the local consumers first choice for their children’s parties as they provide a quality and trustworthy service that will be an unforgettable experience for their children.

 

The first stage of this competition involved the writing of a business plan to support their business idea. After a great deal of hard work and dedication Party Animals received second prize. This was a remarkable achievement considering the tough competition that they faced within the West Midlands area.

 

The next stages of this competition include; the running of a trade stall, writing a company report and a final presentation given at Drayton Manor in front of the Young Enterprise West Midlands judges. It will be on that particular evening that the West Midlands winners are identified which will then go forward to represent the area in the National Young Enterprise competition.
