Spectrum, set up by pupils from Park Special School in Belfast, won team of the year at the NI Young Enterprise Awards.
Move over Lord Sugar and the apprentices, 18-year-old Joshua and his class at Park Special School in Belfast are after your business.The company, called Spectrum, was set up by Park School pupils to manufacture and sell suncatchers.
The pupils were presented with their award at a ceremony at Belfast City Hall, and Joshua said they have more celebrations planned before the end of the school year."We're planning to go on trips and stuff with our profit." "If I were to go and run a business myself, I'd probably run something similar to start off - something small.
"A lot of market research went into it and also a lot of actual marketing - making adverts, using the green-screen.""Their communication is probably key, they've gone out and actually talked to members of the public, the judges at the trade fair, the confidence that they got from that," she said.Like Jillian West, principal Bernie Davis is "super proud" of her students and the business skills they have shown.
