BUSINESS tycoons of the future face the ultimate test when they go direct to the public on Saturday.

Students from seven schools will be showing off their wares at the Wyre Forest Young Enterprise trade fair at Kidderminster Town Hall.

Products ranging from hand-made cards to exam revision aids and plant pots to wall plaques will be on sale from 10am.

The year-long YE scheme involves setting up companies in school so that teenagers can learn what is needed to succeed in the business world of today.

They have spent months creating imaginitive products and honing their management, manufacturing and marketing skills.

There are prizes for the best company at the trade fair and the one which does most to promote itself and the event.

The mayors of Kidderminster, Stourport and Bewdley will be the judges.

Schools taking part are Bewdley, Haybridge, Hagley, Stourport, Wolverley, Holy Trinity and Stourminster Special School.
