We have also visited IT Systems who have helped us set up our own website. Check it out at www.reidstreetpiechallenge.co.uk. They wanted to invest too and offered us £100 so we are adverting their business now.
We have been to the boardroom at Bannatynes, to learn about being an entrepreneur and also make a pitch for their business to advertise on our website. After watching a presentation, about how Duncan Bannatyne made his money, we made our pitch and shared our advert. They decided to support us and asked us to promote their three businesses: Bannatynes Gyms, Bannatynes Spas and Bannatynes Hotels. Quick thinking Hamish struck the deal and they agreed to pay £75 per business so we received another £225.
Our biggest investor was Tracey Wilson from Itech. On the Tuesday afternoon (after school had finished) a group of 12 pupils headed to Newton Aycliffe. We sat at the boardroom table and presentated our case. Itech were incredibly impressed and we managed to get £400 for their advert! Tom shook on the deal.
We also sent a Marvellous Me to all our parents and they have supported us too! Alfie’s dad at Gsit sponsored us; Cole’s mam wanted to advertise on our website; Kizzy’s dad’s tattoo parlour was one of the first to sign up! Harry’s mum runs two businesses and she is thrilled to sign up her two companies. It was been amazing! From just the adverts we have raised over £1,300. What a team we are!
