A YOUNG Enterprise team from Bromsgrove School has been awarded the prestigious ‘UK Company of the Year 2023’ title.
Monito is designed to teach children essential financial skills, through the ‘saving koala’.
The reward system sees children insert colourful tokens into the koala, and after they reach a certain point, the parent decides the reward.
Their outstanding performance and accolade has secured them a spot in the European final, to be held in Istanbul.
The UK final of the Young Enterprise Company of the Year competition brought together some of the brightest minds in the country, showcasing their entrepreneurial skills and competing for a range of awards.
Out of the 13 teams competing, Monito emerged victorious as the ultimate winners, impressing the judges with their innovative business decisions, eloquent presentation, and comprehensive company report.
The team’s company report received high praise for its ‘well-written and informative content’, effectively conveying their journey and achievements. Monito’s success story has been marked by an inspiring journey filled with challenges, triumphs, and personal growth.
Despite facing obstacles in communication and refining their business idea, the students persevered, continually developing their individual skills, and strengthening their bond as a team.
Monito is now preparing to represent the UK at the European Final.
The students are thrilled about the opportunity to showcase their skills on an international platform and are committed to creating an informative expo stand and an amended company report and presentation which reflects their dedication and innovation.
Owais Iqbal, one of Monito’s managing directors, said he was thrilled about the team’s incredible achievement.
