Across Britain, new and exciting emerging businesses have entered the Lloyds Bank 2014 Enterprise Award for successful entrepreneurs. From hundreds of applications, Cattleya CIC, a student run business at King Charles 1 School have been shortlisted as one of the top businesses to go through to the five regional heats being held across Britain. Cattleya provide delicious bespoke cocktails and healthy smoothies for business and community events using exotic fruits imported from Colombia.

The search for Britain’s best student and graduate entrepreneurial talent started in May with the chance to win great prize packages of up to £50,000 as well as Senior Executive mentoring for students. Cattleya CIC are delighted to have been selected for the Best Enterprise Award and will pitch their business on Tuesday 23rd September at Nottingham Trent University to a panel of judges, including local business leaders, Lloyds Banking Group and Public figures.

Quote from Mark Garnier MP “This is an excellent achievement and really reflects the hard work that the students have put into the company. It is great to see students involved in social enterprise and the high calibre of young people that we have in Wyre Forest”.
