Young entrepreneurs in York apprentice battle

9:31am Saturday 4th February 2012 in Business news

DOZENS of young entrepreneurs will be doing battle in York this weekend in the city’s answer to Lord Sugar’s Young Apprentice programme.

York Designer Outlet is playing host to the 2012 North Yorkshire Young Enterprise Trade Fair when four schools from in and around the city will be taking on schools from Knaresborough, Harrogate, Selby, Bedale and Ripon as well as others from Hull and Halifax.

Their task is to outsell their rivals to be in with a chance of scooping the title of Yorkshire Young Enterprise Company of the Year at a ceremony at Pavilions of Harrogate in April.

Each will be awarded a pitch in the centre and will have a day to attract as many customers as they can.
