BUSINESSMEN of the future have been celebrating at Ridgeway School, in Wroughton.
A company started and run by pupils has been given a top award in the Wiltshire finals of the Young Enterprise competition.
Cyclone won the prize for best PowerPoint presentation of its company report, which outlined what its business had done since being set up in September.
The company sells novelty stationery and was formed by year 10 pupils aged 14 to 15 and run during their lunch hour.
They earned praise for aggressively marketing their wares at every parents' evening and production the school held.
Young Enterprise is an international project that is run at schools all over the county.
The school is keen to recruit more volunteer business advisers, profess- ionals in industry who come in once or twice a week to advise the pupils.
Ridgeway teacher Marilyn Indge said: "It can be anyone from any industry.
"Accountants are a godsend because some of the accounts in YE can be quite difficult, and people who work in production are massive help if the pupils want to make something."
