Two Sixth Form pupils from Norwich School are sweetening up life in lockdown through the development of their own fudge business, The Sweet Kitchen.
Created by Lower Sixth pupils Olivia Holdcroft and Scarlett Udy, The Sweet Kitchen business was set up as part of the Young Chamber programme at the school and produces luxury, yet affordable fudge for the Norwich community.
The inspiration behind the project came from their parents’ creative backgrounds and a love of all things sweet. The duo completed a food hygiene course and trialled a number of recipes to get the perfect product. They also used social media to promote the business to the community.
In response to the latest outbreak and to keep spirits lifted, we are taking The Sweet Kitchen out of school and into the community by making local deliveries.
Glyn Manton, Business Enterprise teacher at the school said “At Norwich School we have approximately 80 pupils that have been engaged in our Young Chamber Enterprise schemes this year, where they form their own companies from scratch. This year the ‘Sweet Kitchen’ has been very successful in terms of sales. We are delighted that Olivia and Scarlett have taken the initiative to adapt their business model so it can continue to operate safely and successfully as a delivery service.”
