Southwest champions of innovation!

News - 9th May 2025

After winning the Young Enterprise Company Program Devon final last Wednesday, our team battled it out at the South West finals in Poole this Wednesday. The students represented their cause with professionalism and passion, igniting quite a few interesting conversations with the judges on the day and taking home the innovation award.

What’s next for the Southwest champions of innovation?

The team are weighing up a number of possibilities for their next steps and are definitely keen to explore ways to continue getting the word out about their mission of reducing e-waste. Suez, who met them at the Devon final, offered to sponsor them at the South West final and have suggested some support going forwards on ways they could take things to the next level.

The team would also like to acknowledge Rathbones who heavily supported them taking part in the Company program in addition to also sponsoring them in attending the South West final. Fresha also supported Young Enterprise by catering both the Devon launch and the Devon final. Having local companies like these who want to support young people in getting their voices heard makes a huge difference. 

From all of us at the WEEE Enterprise, a heart full of thanks to all of you! We are proud of what we have achieved and are looking forwards to what comes next.
