Tycoon Telegraph #3 Autumn 2019

It has been fantastic to see so many teams trading across the country during the third week of the Tycoon Enterprise Competition. It is inspiring to see that so many teams have been able to turn a profit so quickly and we look forward to seeing their businesses grow over the coming weeks.

The diversity of businesses taking part in Tycoon highlights the diversity of the skills and talent of the young people within the UK. From StrobeTech's business selling custom built computers to Nalu's products which aim to bid farewell to plastic waste, it is obvious that there is great ambition powering the Tycoon Teams this year.

There's lots of time for things to change, and remember that you can put in daily sales figures if you like, as they'll automatically be combined into weekly summaries on your Trading Figures graph.
