Young entrepreneurs sweep to victory

Crescendo: Leicestershire’s Company of the Year 2008

16th May 2008

Young Enterprise Company Crescendo really did hit the high notes last night as they were awarded Leicestershire’s Company of the Year. The group of ten Sixth Form students won a total of five awards at the annual ceremony at the Walkers Stadium in Leicester. They are now to compete in the East Midlands Regional Final to be held on 19th June.

Crescendo sealed their success with a dynamic and articulate presentation in front of business people, other schools and a large audience of friends and family from across the county. The language and concepts in Crescendo’s presentation demonstrated a business acumen that stood out amongst the other finalists.
