Two teams of Timaru Boys' High School entrepreneurs have spent months researching their products and refining their business plans and are now out on the sales trail.
Exescent (Matt Kennedy, Joel Loxton and Hayden Jefferson) and SnowCo (Sam Tayler, Daniel Dickson and Harry Taylor) - launched their products at an organised event at Ara's Starz Restaurant, marketing products sourced and manufactured by their respective groups.
Excescent's "Fender Defender" is a product designed to protect car panels when working in the engine bay (see separate article) while SnowCo has produced a selection of wine boxes.
Yes is a year-long programme, backed by the South Canterbury Chamber of Commerce, where students set up and run an actual company, complete with real products and services. These companies carry real profit and loss, with team members financially and emotionally invested in businesses, just as any person starting out with their own enterprise.
