I recently attended Bishop Luffa School to give a talk to the Young Enterprise students on branding and promoting their companies.
The aim of the session was for the Sixth Form students to have a better understanding of the world of business; in particular the start up process. Students from the school have been taking part in the Young Enterprise scheme for over 10 years and this year will have more than 40 students participating in this business experience. During the year students have to set up a business and experience profit and loss in a real company.
The other guest speakers for the afternoon were Rob Shaw, an ex Luffa student himself, Director of the Jack Wills clothing company, who shared his experience with the students in setting up a business and John Bugeja from Rolls Royce who gave the students a presentation about “Excellence in Business”.

Members and guests of the South Coast Design Forum, First Friday Network and Chichester Chamber of Commerce were treated to a private view of paintings, drawings and prints at The National Open Art Competition 2010.
Now in its 14th year, this annual national open art competition, hosted by Neil Lawson-Baker, Chairman of The Chichester Art Trust and staged at the Minerva Theatre in Chichester, showcased a high-quality selection of work which included art photography for the first time this year. Guests were invited to vote for their favourite artwork in the Catherine Petitgas Visitors Prize; the most popular choice winning £1000.
Thanks to Chris Butler at The Photography Lounge, for taking the photos.

Steve joined the judging panel at Stonepillow’s Big Sleep Out held recently in the grounds of Chichester cathedral. Michael Woolley, mayor of Chichester and Christian Notley, from Chichester College completed the judging panel.
One of the fabulous structures created by the children at the sleep out.
The event, held every other year by this charity for the homeless, encourages young people from local schools, youth groups and organisations to spend the night in a cardboard shelter they have built themselves on site, in order to experience the kind of conditions endured by the homeless. All three judges agreed that Body Shop’s shelter was the outright winner because it successfully combined a solid build structure, weather-proofing, comfort, whilst retaining the look of a home.
The winning team from The Body Shop.
