Pipers Young Enterprise Teams Secure Investments in 'Meet the Dragons' Event

On Thursday 14 November Pipers Young Enterprise teams, Grounded and Hive It Your Way, took part in the Young Enterprise Meet the Dragons event alongside five other teams from the local areas.

Each team pitched their business to the Dragons and answered questions about their company.

Grounded pitched their terrarium wellbeing business. Their mission is to raise awareness about the importance of caring for both ourselves and the environment. They believe that small steps can lead to big changes and that by working together, we can highlight how moments of peace—found through our terrariums—can help balance and enhance everyone’s overall sense of wellbeing. The team were represented by Human Resources Director Trixie F, Finance Director Roisin M, Sales Director Dembe N and Marketing Director Asia S, who secured a £70 investment from the Dragons.
