More than 70 students gathered at Wintec’s Bill Gallagher Hub recently for the Lion Foundation Young Enterprise Scheme (YES) Waikato Regional Awards, celebrating secondary school students who have spent the year creating and running real businesses.

The evening’s top honour, Wintec's Waikato Regional Award, went to BioPot from Hauraki Plains College. The team’s biodegradable plant pots, made from wool and sheep pellet fertiliser, also earned the Ministry for Primary Industries Best in Agricultural Sustainability Award. BioPot will now represent the Waikato at the national YES finals in Wellington in December.
