Congratulations to our budding entrepreneurs, Team Potentia, for winning the Innovation Award in the South West Hertfordshire Digital Showcase. The aim of the Young Enterprise programme is to reduce youth unemployment, help young people realise their potential beyond education and empower a generation to learn, to work and to live by encouraging and supporting them to turn business ideas into a reality.

Team Potentia researched, funded and developed an innovative product in the form of a collapsible silicone necklace holder to prevent tangling. The judges were extremely impressed by the team and the girls’ innovative business approach in developing and producing a product that offered a solution to cumbersome everyday problems.

Well done to the team – such wonderful news!
