Young business entrepreneurs are top of the class when it comes to selling their products.

Pupils from Davison High School in Worthing have been so successful they are now selling their wares in shops in the town.

Bijoux, who are Flo Scordoulis, Sammy Fairman, Amy Dighe and Abbie de Vries, all 14, and Sylvia Yong, 15, designed button earrings which have proved so popular the business has made a £1,000 profit and the earrings are stocked in several Worthing shops.

The Young Enterprise Programme is sponsored by HSBC bank who go into the school as business advisers.

Teachers at the school also act as mentors to guide the pupils through their projects.

An HSBC spokesman said: “Bijoux were approached at a style evening and asked if they wanted to sell their products in several outlets.

“It is out of the ordinary to get into the shops in the way that they have. They have worked really hard and have thrown themselves into it.”

Another group which has done well is Reflections, which has designed candle holders and picture frames.

The group has been led by managing director Amy Rowson and also includes Carolyn Arnold, Molly Beeson, Rosalind Frayard-Smith, Molly Holland and Rachael Shaw.

Their goods are being used in Tides Restaurant and the House of Gifts, both in Aldsworth Avenue, Goring, Worthing.

On Wednesday, Reflections and another group called Belle, which sells recycled goods, set up market stalls by the bandstand in Montague Street, Worthing, to sell their products. Bijoux will also be at the bandstand this Wednesday.

Ann Warwick, who has been mentoring Reflections and Belle, said: “This has been very successful.

“Reflections and Bijoux have got their goods into shops and they have all done very well.

“They have enjoyed it. It has been a fantastic learning experience and they have gained so much from it.

“It is something they can put down on their CVs and they have definitely grown up a lot in the period of time they have been working on the projects.”
