Francis Douglas Memorial College students win Young Enterprise Scheme
An athletic sock company is the regional winner of the Lion Foundation Young Enterprise Scheme (YES).
The business, run by Francis Douglas Memorial College students chief executive Reuben Waayer, Daniel Callebaut, Wayne Icaro and Sam Waicere, creates socks specifically for athletes. The socks feature cushioned soles, targeted compression and sweat-wicking materials that keep your ankles safe while increasing performance.
The Plank from Te Paepae O Aotea (Hāwera) was the regional runner-up.
During the one-year YES programme, Year 12 and 13 students build and market a business. This year 145 Taranaki students participated in the scheme.
