THE business tycoons of the future showed off the skills which could make them millions in the future.

Pupils at John Hunt of Everest Community School, Popley Way, Popley, Basingstoke, designed a piece of clothing as part of the Young Enterprise scheme.

They backed this up with a slick presentation, a professional-looking logo and a full business plan, and on March 23 awards were handed out to the best groups.

The scheme aims to prepare young people for the world of work and gain an early understanding of the business world.

Anne Crawford, careers co-ordinator at the school, said: "Year 9 worked really hard on designing the clothing and developing the other parts of it.

"It's all part of the Young Enterprise project, which aims to give children an understanding of how the business world works."
