Business plan with some neck
By Annabel ChamingsJanuary 26, 2010
Annabel Chamings, pupil at St Neot's School in Eversley, reports on producing scarves in partnership with Wellington International School in Dubai.
N-compass is a small group of year 7s and 8s based at St.Neot’s school in Eversley. We have been partnered up with a company in Dubai.
They are called Wellington International School and they sent our product (Shemagh scarves) over from Dubai just three days before the market.
On Friday the 20th November we went to the Young Entrepreneur’s Market, part of the global entrepreneurs’ week.
We had a very successful day selling our scarves making a sizeable profit. However we had to pay for the necessities like train fares, tax and postage.
As a result of our age many of the people there were very intrigued to learn about our project.
It was an amazing experience to be in that part of London on the South Bank.
We left our school at 8:30, drove to the station and then we got on the train. We arrived at 10:17 in London; we went through the Christmas market that was near our stall where we were selling our scarves.
We had two teams, one at a time would stay and sell the scarves and the other group would go round the global entrepreneur market to support it. We sold 27 out of 35 for between £10 and £15.
We enjoyed the market a lot and gained a lot of experience and useful information for when we are older and working in business.
