ENTERPRISING students have won a business award after they formed their own company.
Eight year ten and 11 students from Thornaby Community School, Thornaby, came first in the Best Company category at the Young Enterprise Area final at Wynyard.
To take part in the competition, run by Young Enterprise North-East, the students had to run a business for seven months.
For the awards, they had to re-create a trade stand, produce a company report and carry out a presentation to judges about their gift-making company.
Student Stuart Poles said: "We have learned a great deal from our foray into the business world, particularly that you have to work hard to be a successful team."
