Get your own business idea off the ground with HE Certificate of Enterprise
Jayne Lawton, former Certificate of Higher Education in Enterprise student, has won Grazia magazine's Most Innovative New Product with her course project Grobox. Jayne's business acumen also earned her second place in the Grazia 02 Businesswoman of the Year award. The innovative design of Grobox gardens means that all people have to do is sink the exclusive Grobox into the soil, whether in a garden or container, water, then sit back and appreciate the perfume of the flowers as they grow and watch it return every year getting bigger and better.
