Best YE Stand
Young Enterprise students from the Sixth Form set up their stands in the Carfax, Horsham to sell their wares. Farlington had two companies, Loco Coco, selling specialist chocolate on a stick and FrEco, selling environmentally-friendly photo frames.
The Young Enterprise scheme encourages young people to set up their own business and think of innovative ideas for a new product or service. Those who take part then sell what they have created to the public and also present what they have done to a panel of judges, in a competition which is a cross between TV’s Apprentice and Dragon’s Den.
Loco Coco were delight to win the prize for best display stand, which gained them £50 to put towards future supplies. Phoebe Walliss, from Farlington, who is part of the Loco Coco team said: “After great contemplation we decided to call our company Loco Coco and the product we decided to sell is a cube of specialist chocolate on a stick which, when you dip into hot milk, turns into delicious hot chocolate.
“They are available in three flavours – milk chocolate, caramel and dark chocolate, which are all equally tasty. We have also made gift sets including a beautifully wrapped mug containing the three different flavoured sticks, finished off with ribbon, which gives it a really festive feel. We think that these are great for presents and we have received plenty of compliments on them.”
