University of Brighton Fashion and Textiles Graduate Show 2007
Creativity that understands the commercial realities of running a fashion business, was the essence behind the awards given to students at The University of Brighton Fashion and Textiles Graduate show. For the third consecutive year, legal firm Fox Williams, sponsored the show and assessed the calibre of business plans produced by the students, which as always, was of a high standard.

As the Marketing Director Roshan Khan said: "Being in business we [Fox Williams] don't only look at commerciality and business acumen, we also look at creativity as well. It is a combination of these skills that will enable you to succeed in the business world."

For the Fox Williams Best Business Plan Awards 2007 this year, Fox Williams had to assess 17 entries. All of them were incredibly detailed but, it was narrowed down to just three finalists. The award winners were as follows:
