Article summary: Watch our Apprentice Vs Dragons’ Den video to discover the highlights of this exciting event. The evening, which took place on Friday 11 February was a resounding success, with a team from Horndean Technology College winning the top prize with their carbon footprint tracker app idea.

Five teams were shortlisted for the event which was attended by the teams’ parents, teachers, The Portsmouth News and our panel of Dragons. The challenge was a great opportunity for school pupils to showcase their entrepreneurial skills, develop their business knowledge and practice their presentation skills.

The roles of the Dragons were fulfilled by James Sessions, Chief Financial Officer of Prysmian Group; Kelly Sunderland, European HR Director for electronics manufacturer PEI Genesis; Tony Mason, Managing Director of Pall’s UK companies: Penny Mordaunt, Member of Parliament for Portsmouth North & Minister of State for Trade; and PETA’s CEO Huw Chapman.
