Firstly, a big thank you to everyone that entered the Flyerzone ‘Flying Start’ competition. We have had so many great entries and whittling them down to our top five has been a very difficult process. Having reviewed, researched and discussed the merits of each entry, we are happy to announce that the winners (in no particular order) are…

Click N Mix

Click N Mix (clicknmix.co.uk) is a sweet shop with a difference. Currently 100% online with plans to open a Leeds shop in May, Click N Mix allows its customers to create their own pick and mix order via the one-of-a-kind interface which really has to be seen to be believed. The order is then dispatched via courier or, if you are lucky enough to live in Leeds, hand delivered, in some cases within the hour.

We loved the concept of Click N Mix as well as the passion for the idea expressed within the entry and we are confident the prize will do great things for the business.

Tree House Jewellery

Mother of three Rachel, runs the business whilst being a stay-at-home mum. She has great aspirations for the brand and a desire to ensure every customer gets the best in customer service.

Run by three students of Leeds Metropolitan University, the magazine is a must have companion for students in Leeds, reviewing events, local businesses and nights out, as well as discussing various issues of interest to the local student population.

Being a student in the current financial climate must be a daunting prospect, which makes it even more inspiring to see three students taking their fate in their own hands through a joint venture. We look forward to helping them strengthen their business and hope to see HeadingOut on the stands long after they have finished their degrees.
