Build a Business

Have you ever dreamt of owning your own business? Thomson Local's 'Build a Business' is a brand new initiative designed to inspire a new generation of business entrepreneurs.

Working with schools and students up and down the country, Thomson Local is challenging young people to come up with a business that will benefit their local community.

Thomson Local Build a Business ambassador, MOBO founder and entrepreneur, Kanya King, comments:

"

I’m delighted to be involved with Thomson Local in a project that encourages enterprise in young people. I launched my own business in 1996 and have never looked back. Not only am I doing something I love, I have more control over my own destiny and can see firsthand what impact my business has on the people around me.
