On Wednesday 24 April, Peter Jones (from Dragon's Den) invited one of our amazing Tycoon Enterprise student companies - DEJA - to send three members of the company to attend a Fundraising Gala at Foxhills Country Club. The event was organised to raise funds for the Peter Jones charitable Foundation who run the Tycoon Enterprise competition for UK schools. The money raised is going to provide next year's cohort with goodwill loans to start up their businesses.
The guest list included a number of celebrities including Peter Jones, John Terry (former Premier League footballer coach and player), Mark Foster (Olympic swimmer), Alan Shearer and Thom Evans (former Scottish International rugby union player), and only two student companies from the region were invited to attend; ours being one!
This company is amazing - you should all be so proud of yourselves
