Aberystwyth University Students March on to Plymouth from the FLUX Wales Final!

The team triumphed at the Wales Final which was held on Monday 4th February at Aberystwyth University and was attended by ten business experts from across the region.

Wales Final Winners

As Dilwyn Roberts, local architect and developer commented "This event is a great simulation of real business life, working under pressure to tight timelines and in teams often brought together for a specific project. The winning team did a great job with a difficult business brief."

Julia Heffmann, a second year International Politics and French student, from the winning team said: "This has been a fantastic day, and not just because we won! We've learnt so much about business, about what we are good at and about how to work together as a team. All of which I'm sure will stand us in good stead when we graduate. Now, we are just completely determined to go on and win the Final!"

Looking back on the day, Prof John Harris, Pro-Vice Chancellor from Aberystwyth University, said: "We're absolutely delighted to have hosted this event, bringing together students and the business community in such a hands-on and engaging way. FLUX is a great way of enabling students to better understand and engage with the strategic business planning process and to allow businesses to be so closely involved with the students in a practical, positive and exciting environment."

The winning team now progress to the Grand Final at Plymouth University on March 17th and 18th, where they will compete with the nine other regional winners for a cash prize of £3,000 and the prestigious 2008, National FLUX title. Click here for more information about the Grand Final.
