Debenham High School students celebrating with Young Enterprise win

The Koazy Young Enterprise team at Debenham High School recently won the Company of the Year for the Suffolk and Norfolk area.

Made up of 16 Year 10 students, Koazy began by hand-making family throws and blankets, as they wanted to find a product suitable for families to keep them warm when energy bills were rising.

The team, which now sells hand-sewn wheat bags and eye masks, have sold at 13 trade events in the area, including four consecutive weeks at Framlingham Market.

Noah Besley, the managing director at Koazy, said: "The effort that we have put in as a team is truly exceptional.

"The commitment from everyone has really paid off."

Their teacher, Jane Wilson, said: "It has been a pleasure to work with this team of young people.

"Their energy, determination and willingness to learn has been impressive.

"They have enjoyed negotiating with local suppliers and retailers and their products are now stocked in several local retailers."

Koazy now goes through to the Regional East of England final held at the University of Suffolk representing Suffolk and Norfolk.
