A YOUNG Enterprise team from St Helen's School in Northwood were celebrating last week after winning the national final of the Young Enterprise competition with their innovative Sip O Snack product.

Team Orenda had already won the award for Best Company in the East of England regional final, in addition to the Environmental Award, Best Report and Best Presentation Awards.

At the national final, they beat 13 other entrants who presented their products at the British Film Institute.

The sixth-form students set up their Orenda team in November to promote and sell their range of Sip O Snack bottles, which feature a unique snack container attached to a reusable drink bottle with specialised flip-lid system.

They have already enjoyed steady sales to the public online, as well as at several fairs, including St Helen’s School’s Christmas charity fair and at intu Watford’s annual trade fair.

Team Orenda are now through to the European finals, to be held in Berlin this month.

In addition to their overall award, they also picked up the Creativity Award and were interviewed on BBC Breakfast News.
