Young Enterprise Devon Awards Final at the Met Office Exeter

DHSG competed against five other teams from Devon and clinched the title of 'Young Enterprise's Best Overall Company 2019' at the Young Enterprise Devon Awards Final at the Met Office Exeter. They were judged in four main categories - Team Interview, Company Report, Presentation and teamwork.

Nemeton is a sustainable enterprise that aims to provide an inclusive solution to the 2020 single use plastic ban. The team have developed a zinc or silicone flexible attachment which enables the head of the straw to move. People who have a disability sometimes need straws that bend and that can handle all drinks including medication. The team impressed the judges with their potential solution to this problem.  

'Team Nemeton' will now progress to the South West regional finals in Bristol on the 9th of May. Amazing - congratulations to all involved!
