Young Enterprise at the Stratford Trade Fair
Ribblesdale were the only school representing the North West of England at the event, which took place on Saturday, May the 21st. The company Visualize made a huge impact on the locals and foriegn visitors who were visiting the town. Their innovative product, a DVD promoting tourism in the Ribble Valley, was a huge success and certainly put the area on the map. “People who had never heard of the Ribble Valley certainly do now” commented the judges and Chairmen of the Stratford Borough Council. Ribblesdale’s team worked tirelessly on their stand for over six hours. Bathed in great March sunshine the town was bursting with tourists.
Photo requests came in thick and fast from visitors from all around the World. Visualize directors were dressed up in Ribble Valley costumes, such as Clitheroe Castle, Town Crier Chefs (we have fantastic places to eat) and farmers (we have the best local produce). Visualize were the best supported team on the day. DVDs of ‘Explore the Ribble Valley’ are on the way to America, Canada, Germany, Spain, Italy and Japan. The residents and the borough council can be proud of Ribblesdale’s pupils for putting tourism in the Ribble Valley on the map. Visualize won a commendation for their achievements on the day.
