The award is sponsored by Virgin Media and Adam went to London to collect his award.

The aim on the contest is to help a young person establsi a sucessful online business over the course of the next year. Adam has won £1,000 to invest in his business idea, a state-of-the-art laptop, and exclusive one-to-one with Tim Cambell. the first winner of The Apprentice, and the Advice of a Business Mentor, sponsored by Virgin Media, throughout the 2008/09 school year. There was a professional photo shoot at key locations around London, featuring Adam and Tim, to promote the award; venues included the Millennium Bridge, the Bank of England and the Re Building (also known as the ‘Gherkin’.)

The Young Enterprise programme goes from strength to strength and winning of a national award is an exceptional achievement. Congratulations to Adam, the Business Studies Department and the Mr Fraser for all his efforts.
