On Saturday afternoon our Young Enterprise pupils took part in the annual Young Enterprise Highland & Moray Christmas Trade Fair at Eastgate Shopping Centre. Alongside other student companies from across the region they set up their own trade stand and took along their fantastic products to sell to the public, just ahead of Christmas. Both teams, Reed & Relax and Bear-Tastic had a very successful day of trading and are now busy preparing for the Young Enterprise Highland & Moray Finals event in March.
Keep an eye out for both teams at future school events and trade fairs in the Inverness area between now and March. Well done team IRA!
