How the day works? 
Teams of students run a manufacturing business for the day, taking on the roles of CEO, Head of Marketing, Accountant etc. They will: 
  • Manufacture products, buy supplies and sell their products
  • Produce marketing campaigns and win orders from buyers
  • Manage their finances and operate their bank account
  • Deal with emergencies e.g. stock market crash or a strike 
The day is fast and furious, sometimes stressful (just like the real working world!) and hugely exciting for students and teachers. 

SATRO Business Games are suitable for all abilities. All our games are delivered by expert staff who will bring with them all the equipment required, and involve volunteer business people from all areas of the working world, giving young people a chance to talk to 'business ambassadors' about their day jobs.

Run by SATRO tutors and supported by industry volunteers where appropriate.
