CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. — The co-owner of a local consignment business is the recipient of the 2019 Greater Charlottetown Area Chamber of Commerce student entrepreneur award.
Mary Beth Campbell, a full-time business administration student at Holland College, was presented with the award at the Chamber’s president’s annual luncheon at the Delta hotel in Charlottetown May 14.
Campbell started with a small space, little budget and few pieces of merchandise but recognized the potential of what is now Luxury Market Consignment, one of the first luxury consignment shops in Charlottetown.
Campbell and her business partner, Kaley MacDonald, now have a large store front location in downtown Charlottetown, many business relationships and a growing business.
This award reflects the Chamber’s commitment to spark economic growth in P.E.I. by promoting and encouraging entrepreneurship.
The one-time $2,000 award is paired with a one-year complimentary membership from the Chamber and a feature in the Chamber’s Voice of Business magazine.
Award finalists for the Air Canada Student Entrepreneur Award include Matt Llewellyn, Cutting Edge Property Care; Harmonie Richard, Paraska’s Place; and Evan Hawley, Odyssey Virtual.
The award is presented each year to a full-time post-secondary student residing in P.E.I., who is also the owner of a business in the province.
A panel of judges review applications and interview applicants to determine the recipient each year.
The Chamber will be accepting applications for the 2020 Student Entrepreneur award beginning in December.
