Student businesses shine at YES Trade Fair
Held at the Old Packhouse Market and sponsored by lines company Top Energy, the annual trade fair is a chance for Northland's young entrepreneurs to test their ideas and sales skills on the public.
Companies were judged on stall presentation, money handling and especially students' willingness to engage with customers and talk up their products. Fifty student businesses took part this year.
