BRIEF:-Form a business team-Create and develop a business idea .-Start trading an run a real business.

COMPANY:Name: 24MandarinType: Jewellery Company based in Newcastle, UKTarget Audience: 16-30 year oldsProducts: Handmade, unique festival and travelling inspired jewelleryPricing: Ranging from £5 to £30

24Mandarin

VISION OF 24Mandarin:

24Mandarin sells handmade and unique jewellery. All of these pieces are festival and travelling inspired. 24Mandarin wants to bring bright colours, beautiful shapes and fresh styles to their customers. We want the customer to feel excited and brought to warm country with no worries but sunshine and fun whilst wearing the 24Mandarin jewellery.

MY ROLE IN THE COMPANY:

My Job at 24Mandarin was to design and make every piece of jewellery. I decided on which kind of material I was going to use and where to purchase it. I build up a little workshop to make exciting pieces to sell. I designed several bracelets from big to delecate, necklaces from elegant to statement, headpieces for a summer festival, rings and earrings in all sorts of shapes and colours. It is my greatest passion to create jewellery pieces and I felt very comfortable with my assigned role in the company.

EXPERIENCE:

Starting this business, it has allowed us to dive into the business world and has taught us in several areas, which are very helpful in the future and especially for me in this case as I was able to test if there is a positive respond to the jewellery pieces I design. We saw the positives and negatives effects of creating a business and in total we are very pleased with the outcome of knowledge and experience in a whole new area. We worked well as a team and were able to solve problems together.
