Thurrock's students are set to put their budding business skills to the test as the Inspire Youth Hub launches Thurrock's Next Top Boss, 2024.

This is the fourteenth year the competition has taken place, and Inspire has partnered with Trunk Logistics, the Grays-based removal and storage company.

Students from schools across the borough have been challenged to develop social media advertisements to help boost business for Trunk Logistics and make other businesses aware of what they have offer.

Winners will be announced at an awards ceremony in March.

As well as awards and trophies there is also an opportunity for students to benefit from work experience.

To learn more about the programme and how to get involved, you can visit the Council website.
