BUSINESS-MINDED teenage 'tycoons' showed they have a firm grasp of running a company when they achieved distinctions in a Young Enterprise exam.
A group of 11 Pendle high school students out of the 75 who sat the exam recorded high enough marks to earn themselves a distinction and a £15 book token as a reward, which were presented at Pendle Enterprise Trust's Nelson offices by Trust executive director Ron Morrish.
The Trust co-ordinates the annual Young Enterprise contest which gives teenagers an in-sight into the business world by allowing them to run their own companies, sell shares and produce goods.
"The students who sat the exam were given case studies and asked what they would do if their companies were in the same position," explained Mr Morrish. Local company Johnson & Johnson, helped meet the cost of the book tokens.
The 11 students who received them were Mudassar Ahmed, Sajjad Aslam, Katie Bradshaw, Rachel Corteen, Jonathan French, John Haigh, Kathryn Harrison, James Hubbard, Catherine O'Connell, William Richardson and Rebecca Villiers.
