Reaction recently held enterprise fairs at Coquet High School in Amble and Ashington High School. The fairs gave students the opportunity to talk to a range of entrepreneurs about their businesses and also about the motivation behind setting up a business and the skills and qualities required. Students were able to see that you can turn anything into a business as long as you are passionate about it. Workshoppers included a mind reader and magician, a virtual PA, a leather worker, a bonsai farmer, a ventriloquist, and art, music and sport businesses.

The enterprise fair at Coquet High School was funded by the North East England ERDF Competitiveness Programme 2007-13
