Lighting the way: Orkney school pupils delight in company’s award show success

An enterprise company run by school pupils in Orkney is looking to build on its recent awards show success. Already crowned Scottish Young Enterprise Company of the year, Estrela, run by 12 final year pupils at Kirkwall Grammar School, earned a place at the nationwide finals last week, where it won the Fedex Express Access Award. Estrela produces lamps featuring iconic Orkney islands locations, such as the Italian Chapel and the Ring of Brodgar. HR director Calum Mcarthur said: “This is not the end for Estrela, but the beginning of a new and exciting journey.”
