STUDENTS at Sandbach High School got their new company off to a flying start when they attended a one-day conference in Crewe.
The Challenge Conference was organised as part of the Young Enterprise Programme where students set up a company, market products and sell shares to family and friends to raise capital.
At the end of the year they will give presentations relating their successes and failures.
To give them a boost the conference was held at the Crewe-campus of the Manchester Metropolitan University by South and East Cheshire TEC's Young Enterprise Development Officer Maria Mair.
Workshops were run by local business people and the students had the chance to manufacture products which were 'sold' to wholesalers.
Sandbach High School pupils were awarded a trophy for their efforts at the conference and are pictured at the end of the day.
