Jan 2018 - Feb 2020
Ape Industries is a company that deigns and manufactures, mountain bike straps to hold a mountain bikers gear to their bike frame. Formed under the Young Enterprise organisation in 2018 with four year 12 students at the of 2018 Ape Industries other members were no longer interested in running the business. This lead to in the 2019 year running Ape Industries on my own, this allowed me to gain many more skills than the previous years. Because Ape Industries sells through its own website I learnt many skills relating to marketing products online and growing and Instagram audiences. Show less
