Tulsi is the Managing Director of ‘Tag-Along’ who are the Seacole House ‘Young Enterprise’ (YE) team. They recently won the Shropshire and West Midland YE titles which were hosted at Harper Adams and Warwick Universities where they competed against the very best that the region had to offer. They now progress to the National Finals in Manchester on the 4th June, with the potential of reaching the European Finals in Athens later this year!
‘Tag-Along’ is an innovative product that has been designed to attach your belongings to either yourself or items such as bags, suitcases and pushchairs. It has been designed, produced, marketed and sold by the team and has been massively successful and rightly recognised at county and regional level!

The live broadcast interview lasted approximately 10 minutes and covered topics such as what the ‘Tag-Along’ product is all about, where it can be purchased and what it is like being the managing director of a successful company at just seventeen years of age!
Alongside Tulsi, Claire also interviewed Mr Tony Hague who is the Young Enterprise business advisor for the three NGHS House YE Teams. He gave his perspective about the whole experience and the massive strides all three teams have made and how well they have done to achieve the recognition they have.
Following the interview, Tulsi remarked, “Wow, what an experience this has been! I never imagined when I signed up for Young Enterprise eight months ago that it would end up being interviewed live on BBC Radio. The journey has been an incredible experience for all of us. As Managing Director, the success of ‘Tag-Along’ has truly been a team effort with each of the other nine members playing a crucial role. I also want to send huge thanks to Tony who has given us invaluable advice and support, along with our school YE organiser, Mr Paul Bentley."
NGHS economics teacher, Mr Bentley, also offered his thoughts on this years Young Enterprise activities, “All three Young Enterprise Teams have performed superbly this year and the icing on the cake has been ‘Tag-Alongs’ journey to the National Finals. The skills and attributes the students have developed this year will be invaluable to them as they complete their studies and enter the world of work.”
