E Day07
YOUNG ENTERPRISE DAY (E Day) 2007
The year got off to a great start with the E Day event being held in early March at the Stairs Function Centre.
Anna Hamilton-Manns, Enterprise Trust YES National Director, facilitated much of the day.
In school or Company groups, the young people spent time brainstorming product of service ideas they might like to run with for 2007.

You wouldn't believe the range of ideas put forward! They were encouraged to run with their passion as the glue that will hold the company together, but to also do their homework before adopting a particular idea.
Anna spoke of ensuring that their idea would be welcomed by the community by way of enhancing life or solving a problem and reminded us all of the principles for providing top customer service. The young people then split into five groups to receive training on the roles of Company Directors.
We were really grateful for the support of the following people who gave their time to deliver the training:
Managing Directors - Allister MacGregor, Gen-I Southland
Communications/HR - Greg Thomas, BDO Spicers, Finance - Karen Withington, McIntyre Dick Partners, Sales & Marketing - Amanda Watson, Write Answers,
Production - Craig Haywood, Designbase.
After a great lunch catered for by the Stairs Function Centre staff, the young people focused on the development of their Business Plans and spent time developing their ideas assisted by Anna, Les Diack and Richard Hay.
