Turning Waste Into Opportunity |
|
Turning waste products into a viable business sounds like a task set by Lord Sugar, but this is actually the challenge undertaken by a group of students from South Eastern Regional College who have recently set up their own recycling company.
Bellisle Recycling has been set up by five carpentry apprentices who secured funding from the British Council for youth in action, which is funded by the European Lottery Fund. To be awarded funding the students took part in the Big Ideas Challenge were they completing a business plan and presented it to a panel of judges.

The funding is now being used to purchase uniforms and equipment and the students are taking an educational trip to Balcas as part of their market research. One of the students Stephen Mooney said: "We are delighted. We will now put the money to good use to make our business idea a reality. Taking part in the challenge provided me with an excellence insight into what’s involved in becoming self-employed; it really inspired me to set up my own business when I finish my course at SERC."
These students are now part of a growing number of SERC students who are taking advantage of the opportunity to set up their own business within the College. |
