Inspiring Future Entrepreneurs: Ben Boyd Visits Primary 7

Ben Boyd, the entrepreneur behind Ben’s Studio, paid a visit to our Primary 7 class. He shared his journey of starting a business, discussing both the exciting moments and the challenges he faced along the way. The children were inspired by his story and found his experiences incredibly informative and helpful as they begin to think about their own business ideas.

Ben also shared his hopes for the future, showing that business always has room to evolve. We are especially grateful to him for the tokens he provided for his new store opening in Ballymena this week. It will be his fourth store, and we are delighted that it is so close us. I'm sure the boys and girls will be the first in line to check it out! Although I may be the first there myself.

Thank you so much to Ben for taking the time out to talk to us during a very busy week for him, we wish him all the best in his new store.
