Rachel Bridge (Enterprise Editor of the Sunday Times) joined us at the Business Teacher conference on Friday and briefly described her new series which is tracking three new business start-ups…

The three start-ups are introduced in the Sunday Times today. They are:

Redemption Brewery Company - a microbrewery based in Tottenham, set up by Andrew Moffat

Gourmet Popcorn - a niche popcorn producer in Consett County Durham, set up by Catherine and Richard Furze

Eternships.com - a website where small firms can advertise graduate work placements, formed by a good friend of tutor2u - Raj Dey.

Three existing, contrasting businesses. They make a terrific base for students to consider the likely success of each business, and to track their progress using Rachel’s updates.
