I had a great time supporting the Peter Jones Foundation (PJF) at the Tycoon Awards and PJEA Graduation Ceremony at Hampton Court recently. The day celebrated all the foundation students' achievements throughout the year and brought together the network that makes all their work possible.
Congratulations to Anectote, who were crowned the 2023 Overall Winners of the Tycoon Enterprise Competition. The Tycoon team from Wycombe Abbey was awarded £1,000 investment by Peter Jones CBE the founder of PJF. Anectote designs and produces customised tote bags with their slogan “tell your story through anectote”. They donated half of their profits to Friends of the Earth, demonstrating a care for both people and planet.
Jevean Tenniece was crowned the winner of the flagship competition, National Entrepreneur of the Year! Jevean from Leicester College impressed Peter Jones CBE with her #business pitch and sustainable clothing brand Da Goat Clothing, receiving the coveted £5,000 investment.
A lot of work goes into the event and I was happy to be involved joining the small team that works for PJF, the students and all the creatives that support them in making the day a huge success.
