Young Entrepreneurs Take the Spotlight at Midsummer Place

As part of Young Enterprise, the largest national education charity in England and Wales, these students are gaining hands-on business experience by launching and managing their own companies over the course of a year. With guidance from local business mentors, they are developing essential entrepreneurial skills, financial literacy, and an enterprising mindset that will benefit them long into the future.

The Trade Fair offers a unique opportunity for students to engage with real customers, refine their sales techniques, and put their business knowledge into practice in a busy retail setting. Visitors to Midsummer Place can support these budding entrepreneurs by browsing and purchasing their unique products, all while witnessing firsthand the creativity and dedication driving the next wave of business talent.

Kirsty, Marketing Manager at Midsummer Place, expressed her enthusiasm for the event:
"We’re delighted to welcome these young entrepreneurs and provide them with a platform to showcase their creativity and business skills. At Midsummer Place, we’re committed to empowering young people with the knowledge and confidence to manage money, develop key life skills, and contribute positively to their communities."

Young Enterprise is part of Junior Achievement, a global network operating in 120 countries and reaching over 15 million young people annually. Through initiatives like the Company Programme, students gain practical experience that equips them for their future careers.
