Student Enterprise Marketplace

Hazelwood College was buzzing with creativity and entrepreneurial spirit on Tuesday 27th January as all Transition Year students took part in the Student Enterprise Marketplace. The event saw students set up their own businesses and trade with fellow students, staff, and local primary school pupils, showcasing months of hard work, innovation, and teamwork.

The standard on the day was outstanding, making judging a real challenge. Glow Guard took home the Overall Winner award, with Boost Bites named Runner-Up. Other winners included Refreshener (Most Innovative), Wag and Wear (Best Business Plan), Back to Bronze (Best Display), Calm Kiss (Most Sustainable), and Sliothar Stimulator (Best Marketing).

It was an incredible day that highlighted the talent, creativity, and ambition of our Transition Year students. A huge well done to everyone involved in making the marketplace such a memorable success
