Last year, the Young Enterprise Scheme (YES) team from Dunedin’s Bayfield High School was second in the national final. On Wednesday night, they got their redemption and were named company of the year in the scheme’s national final held virtually. The berries, high in antioxidants and vitamins, had not previously been used commercially in New Zealand, the team said. Abalro Health founders (from left) Robert Donohoe (17), Abby Green (18) and Alex Livingstone (18), all of Dunedin, hold a bowl of their imported barberries. The team was awarded $3000, as well as a $5000 Massey University business school scholarship for each director, for its win.
