Helping young people in Scotland to start up and continue in business

Following the huge success of its debut in 2011, Lorraine Kelly launched a call for team entries and sub-sponsors for the Alliance Trust Cateran Yomp in 2012. Lorraine joined 5 soldiers in her home town of Dundee ahead of the 52 mile walk along the Cateran Trail which starts in Blairgowrie.

Unlike other walking challenges, the Alliance Trust Cateran Yomp offers something for everyone, with Bronze (22 miles), Silver (36.5 miles) or Gold (52 miles) routes along the Cateran Trail which starts in Blairgowrie - there’s a challenge for everyone!

Leonie Woolf launched her business earlier this year after she received funding from PSYBT through the BT Scotland Young entrepreneurs scheme, which was set up to encourage young people to use e-commerce to boost their businesses.

Leonie had the original idea a while ago, but the business really only started growing this year.  She purchased her first composite boat a year or so ago, and wanted to make it unique.  She spent countless days looking online for a company that could help her design some graphics, even looking into marine yacht companies.
