Paragon PE are taking learning to the next level by heading a product design project with Business Studies Students from Cronton Sixth Form College in Widnes. Together, Paragon and the College will be designing a product designed for pop festivals. All designs, logos, labels etc will be voted by you, the public, via the students Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/pages/Halo-Cronton-College-Brand-Development/212361138842928 The students will then have the opportunity to 'pitch' their ideas in a mock up Dragons Den scenario, involving business experts and then finally to the distributing company who will then go on to sell the product into shops around the UK. The students will document their journey through a video diary, which will be uploaded to You Tube and the product will be marketed through the various Social Media sites which has been made available to them. Today is the 1st day of this exciting project and it has already attracted local support from Halton Borough Council's Chief Executive, David Parr and also Olympic Legend Colin Jackson! To follow this exciting experiment please 'like & share' the students Facebook page plus our own, as we will be documenting everything that unfolds.

In keeping with their ethos of helping British business, Managing Director of halo Non Bio Paul Ward and his brother Andrew Ward have increased their level of involvement with the Halton Chamber Of Commerce, drawing accolades from its Chief Executive Paula Cain.

"Paul is something of a local celebrity, having appeared twice on Dragon’s Den and, more recently, on Daybreak, to talk about his innovative and highly successful product. He’s been a member of Halton Chamber since autumn 2010 and I was delighted when he agreed to be a keynote speaker at our 1st Tuesday event earlier this week. As I knew he would, Paul gave a tremendous talk which was humorous, informative and inspirational in equal measure, and which was very well received by everyone in the 70-strong audience. Paul and his brother, Andrew, have also agreed to join our group of volunteer mentors, to help support local people who want to set up in business, and I know they’ll do a terrific job."
