EPIC WIN! Huge congratulations to Sow Good Young Enterprise Team who won the Renfrewshire Area Finals last Thursday.
The team took 5 awards out of 7, an unbelievable result. Sow Good won in the categories of Marketing, Trade Stand, Business Report/Interview, Presentation and Overall Best Company.
They were also a credit to themselves and their school as they socialised with other young entrepreneurs throughout the day and gave a very positive and friendly account of MCHS.
Sow Good will now be representing Renfrewshire in the National finals in June so watch this space!
A special mention must go to Jason Cohen, Managing Director of the team, who has been unflinching in his commitment and dedication to their targets
