Prestigious Award for Enterprising Students
RWCMD student led company, Dragon Opera’r Ddraig,
was announced as the winner of the 2010 Future Entrepreneur Award
at a ceremony at Cardiff’s City Hall last night. The event was
hosted by BBC presenter Lucy Owen and attended by over 400 guests
including Wales’ First Minister.
The award includes business mentoring for 12 months and a £1000
cash prize.
Dragon Opera'r Ddraig was nominated for the award following an
enterprise competition organised by the college last summer. Also
nominated were Bethan Keeble and Victoria Reynolds of Side by Side
Music, who have already been accepted onto a business mentoring
scheme and are receiving external funding.
Both companies are also part of RepCo. at RWCMD – a new company
bringing together a number of student led activities, which is
receiving funding from the Welsh Assembly Government.
The University of Glamorgan launched the Future Entrepreneur
Awards in 2009 to encourage students and graduates across Wales to
become the entrepreneurs of the future.
