Plymouth College Young Enterprise company, Affinity, have won the Best Business category of the Plymouth Herald Youth Awards - Affinity became national Young Enterprise champions earlier this year when their book, Prambles, proved to be a best-seller.
Also, Affinity deputy managing director, Jess Evans, was commended in the Young Hero category for her voluntary work helping young people with special needs.
