Docking Station Launch
An idea from the young people of Hounslow
‘The Social Enterprise High Street Challenge’ challenged young people in Hounslow secondary schools to develop a business plan for an empty shop in Brentford High Street in just eight weeks. Selected in a Dragons Den-like final last Autumn, the winning business concept “Docking Station” came from a team at Hounslow Manor school.
The new shop will be run by nine apprentices who started their training at West Thames College in December and will continue their technical training at Thames Valley University in partnership Hounslow Apprenticeship Training.
