STUDENTS at Banbridge Academy faced their own ‘Dragon’s Den’ this week, as part of the QuickStart Programme, with the support of Ulster Bank and Young Enterprise Northern Ireland.

During the Programme, supported by Ulster Bank, the students have established and managed three companies over 10 weeks, culminating in a competition to decide the winners, judged by Derek Wilson, Ulster Bank, Michael Young, Tele Pizza, Neil Cunningham, MD of Banbridge Academy’s Young Enterprise Company ‘$ave On’, and Banbridge Academy teachers Jennifer Cosgrove, Diane Morrow and Lynne Elliott, Banbridge Academy.

Over the course of the 10 weeks, the students were mentored by Mark Tumilty from Ulster Bank.
