YOUNG entrepreneurs are heading for London to represent the North West after winning a competition.

Pupils from Longridge County High School won the regional final of the Young Enterprise competition. Their business, Elan, has produced a children's book, a stool and room tidiers, all of which were sold in the area.

The team had already won the Hyndburn and Ribble Valley area final and the East Lancashire final.

They were presented with their North West award at a ceremony held in Upholland.

They will now represent the North West in the UK finals being held in London in July.
