YOUNG entrepreneurs entered the dragon's den in a bid to get their hands on the KPMG Trophy.

Bolton School sixth formers pitched their money making ideas detailing profit projections, marketing plans and the return on the investment in the annual competition.

Six companies were shortlisted from 30 who took part in a Business Competition Day .

The teams delivered pitches in front of parents, staff and their peers — as well as the judges Stephanie Foster, Director and career coach at Rivington Associates and a former Bolton School parent, and Luke Bradley and Vicki Hill from KPMG.

Winners were iControl, a team consisting of sixth formers Yasin Ahmad, Chris Brownlow, Amina Jameel, Neha Jeyam, Emma Rayner and Oliver Rhodes.

iControl is an app designed to “Make light work of keeping your house safe” by giving a customer control of the lighting in their home from anywhere in the world. It would be used while on holiday to deter burglars.

Mr Bradley said: “This is great if you’re going on holiday, and I think my Mum and Dad would really love this idea.”

Second place was awarded to Twenty20 Vision, a company which would produce glasses for people suffering from Irlen Syndrome, also known as scotopic sensitivity syndrome, Visual Stress. Lenses are used to help to combat the effects, but these are currently only produced in the US and can take five months to reach the UK. Twenty20 Vision would be able to supply lenses in a week.
