Marice Cumber, Director of Enterprise Projects at the UAL, said:
"This is the first year that ECCA has awarded prizes to enterprising students, and the response and quality of work that was submitted this year far exceeded any of our expectations. The Creative Enterprise Awards, part of Enterprise Week, are a very real and very positive celebration of how much enterprise activity is going on at UAL, the innovative ideas that our students have and the different ways they are engaging with their creativity as business propositions.
We, at ECCA, are looking forward to working with all the prizewinners and entrants, by publicising their work and encouraging others to get inspired and to use their creativity for commercial success.
Congratulations to all the prizewinners and entrants, but also to all the staff that have been involved in Enterprise Week and helping to deliver a fantastic 33 events across UAL this week."
