"I’m buzzing my team managed to place gold, this years brief was really fun and it was a great day, it’s great that free events like this exist for young creatives. I’m excited to work with the guys from APS and Stockport council to work on the brief more, they’re a great team and really believe in the idea which is fab."

This was a very impressive year with 4 of their students in finalist teams and Robbo Robinson a very deserving member of the winning team. I saw Robbo again last week when she came back to Stockport for the first part of the winners’ prize, spending a day in the Innovation Lab at the APS Group, working to further develop their idea."
