Featured News: Peter Jones students reach business final
A group of Peter Jones Enterprise Academy students from South Essex College made the final of this year’s Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply (CIPS) Negotiation Challenge.
To reach the final, the students had to create a presentation film and upload it to YouTube.
The presentation had to demonstrate how they would negotiate in six different scenarios, including negotiating a better deal on a car and negotiating a discount on a meal.
CIPS chose six teams from different colleges to attend the final at Heathrow airport. The final negotiating task involved negotiating for plots of land.
The CIPS Challenge developed the students’ employability and negotiating skills. Plus it gave them a taste of the business world by experiencing presenting in front of a formal panel of business leaders.
Floriana Bucolli, a Peter Jones Enterprise Academy student at the College, made it to the final with her team. She said: “I have never been so nervous, we had to negotiate with other colleges and then report our strategies back to the CIPS management panel.
“The whole day was excellent, it really brought us out of our comfort zones and gave us something to use and build upon in our future business careers.”
Steve Newman, course leader, said: “I was very proud that the South Essex College team made the finals. The students’ hard work was recognised by Peter Jones CBE who delivered a personal message to congratulate the finalists. I am delighted that their efforts have been recognised in a national arena.”

News: Masterclass mix for make-up students
Production Arts students were lucky enough to meet and learn from many hair and make-up professionals this term.
Maria Malone, international celebrity make-up artist and Buster Knight, red carpet celebrity make-up artist were both a big hit with the Make-up and Hair for Stage, TV, Film & Fashion classes.
The industry experts held masterclasses with the students, where they were able to learn specialised techniques, top tips and celebrity secrets.
The students were full of praise for the professionals. Renee Tuitt, level 3 student, said: “We found Maria’s workshop a great insight into the creative world of body painting, it was really beneficial to hear about opportunities in the industry.”
Bethany Sheppard, also a level 3 student, said: “Buster was down to earth and gave good advice on ways to make it in this business. He also showed us stunning make-up tricks like contouring that are currently very fashionable.”
Tara Thomas, course leader, said: “It’s so important for the students to meet individuals who are making a successful living in this competitive industry. They provided invaluable advice and it was great experience for the girls and boys getting to work with professionals.”
