AN INAUGURAL AWARD for young entrepreneurs was presented to a student from Harper Adams University College last month.

Rebecca Masters, 19, from Ruthin, Denbighshire, recently started her second year on the BA (Hons) Business Management & Marketing degree at Shropshire’s University College.

She was presented with the Ricoh Entrepreneurial Award – a new award for 2003 that has been generously sponsored by Ricoh UK Products Ltd of Telford, Shropshire. Company representative Christine Petrovic attended a special ceremony on Friday, September 19, 2003 to make the presentation.

After achieving the highest grade in her first year, Rebecca demonstrated an appreciation of entrepreneurship and a positive attitude towards business development in the UK. Judges said Rebecca also received the award in recognition of her contribution to class and group activities.
