Saturday marked the North West Young Traders Market Regional Final!
You braved the sunshine and showers with resilience, passion, and entrepreneurial spirit throughout the day — and we couldn’t be prouder.
We’d also like to give a special shout-out to the two talented traders under 16 who showcased their amazing skills at the event, even though they weren’t part of the official judging.
Your passion for entrepreneurship is inspiring, and we’re excited to see how you continue to grow!
Your talent and dedication continue to inspire. 🌦️👏
