New Lunch Lessons are back!

Series three will begin in September

From 11 September we'll be starting our third series of reports aimed at business studies students.

Between now and Christmas we'll be tackling topics such as starting a business, marketing, cash flow, production methods and motivation.

How to start a business

The new series will kick-off with a look at how to start a business.

And to illustrate this topic we're adopting several new businesses, each with their own experience of raising finance, doing a business plan and marketing.

We'll be keeping in touch with these businesses over the next 12 months to see how they survive.

Other hot topics coming up include:

A date with Woolworth's 'Mrs Christmas' to find out how she predicts what toys we'll be buying 12 months ahead

An inside guide to the production secrets of one of our biggest yoghurt producers

Bisto's Brand Manager. How does he persuade the shops to buy his products

The biker boys who've invented a new bit of kit -- how do they get it off the drawing board and into our bike sheds

The tyre company that's back on track after going bust last year The Lunch Lessons are suitable for a range of business studies and citizenship courses.
