The accolade was announced this week, in the lead-up to the Lion Foundation Young Enterprise Scheme awards.  Lar and his fellow Caring & Co colleagues will travel to the awards ceremony in Wellington on 4 December, where they are in the running for a number of business awards.

Caring & Co are a group of Manurewa High School students who produced, marketed and sold a unique olive oil product called Unique Drizzle.  They donated their profits to the Life Education Trust, enabling Homai Primary School students to go through the Life Education Trust programme.
